Low energy mode

Our journey to net zero

With our reach extended to drive change at scale in the UK, US and Australia, we’ve gone from strength to strength globally. A wholly owned subsidiary of Marubeni Corporation, a Fortune Global 500 company founded in 1858, we have spent the last 5 years in the US driving energy markets forwards and empowering the net zero transition, hitting a few important milestones along the way. Together, we’re a secure partner you can rely on for the long term.
