Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce has announced a strategic partnership with Confident Futures, a pioneering organization in the green energy sector, to support businesses in achieving their sustainability targets. As the UK's first consultative green energy supplier, Confident Futures brings extensive expertise in sustainable solutions, helping businesses reduce energy costs and achieve Net Zero targets by 2038, in line with Greater Manchester's climate goals.
Confident Futures’ Founder and CEO, Janet Thornton, emphasized the urgency of transforming the global energy industry, positioning the North West, particularly Greater Manchester, as a leader in this energy revolution. She stated, “A global transformation in the energy industry is urgently needed, and where better to ignite this energy revolution than in the North West – specifically Greater Manchester, the new northern Powerhouse.”
Thornton explained that Confident Futures is at the forefront of the sustainable energy market and is committed to helping Chamber members revolutionize the UK and global energy markets. Their comprehensive range of services, including supply, generation, installation, finance, and navigating legislative requirements, will aid businesses on their journey to Net Zero while boosting their financial performance. Additionally, they aim to establish long-lasting green energy networks that will benefit future generations.
Lucy Mulligan, Head of Marketing at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, highlighted that sustainability is increasingly important for businesses, with the region’s ambitious Net Zero target of 2038 looming. Many businesses want to contribute to these goals but are unsure of the best approach. “This is where Confident Futures comes in by offering the support and expertise that people need for the journey to Net Zero,” she said.
Through this new partnership, Confident Futures will offer Chamber members several key benefits:
- Sustainability consultations that help identify the most effective path to a sustainable future and explore tailored solutions for businesses.
- An initial solar rooftop design, providing a detailed plan for solar system installation, along with estimates on potential energy generation and cost savings.
- Savings on current business energy tariffs, with the added potential to earn additional income as a green energy producer through Confident Futures’ PPA fund, with no upfront costs to the business.
- A clear, actionable plan to achieve Net Zero, along with 100% certified green energy guarantees that both reduce operational costs and contribute to environmental goals.
This partnership offers businesses in Greater Manchester a solid foundation to embrace sustainability while aligning with the region’s broader climate objectives.
