Powering the path to net zero with Adnams
Our energising partnership with Adnams is making their journey to renewable energy simpler.
Adnams’ journey to a sustainable future
We are a proactive, resilient energy partner for the net zero transition, helping businesses hit their green energy targets. One such business is Adnams, an award-winning UK brewer, distiller, retailer and pub owner with sustainability at its heart.
As a purpose-driven and values-led organisation, Adnams integrates sustainability into every aspect of their decision-making - from selecting the suppliers and ingredients to shaping the services offered in their stores, pubs, and hotels. Since 2019, we have supported Adnams on their sustainability journey, providing 100% renewable energy sourced from the UK, powering their brewery, distillery, hotels, shops, and pubs with clean green electricity.
Sustainability is an intrinsic part of Adnams’ brand, and it has played a key role in establishing them as a preferred supplier for some of the UK's largest retailers. Adnams concentrates on four key sustainability areas: biodiversity, waste, water, and carbon, and SmartestEnergy’s renewable energy supply is a core part of their overall strategy, significantly contributing to their efforts by offsetting 25% of their Scope 1 and 2 emissions, reducing their carbon footprint.
Beyond purchasing renewable energy, Adnams are actively feeding back to the local community. They operate an on-site anaerobic digester that produces biomethane, which is fed back into the grid. And, using a recently renewed brewing and distilling infrastructure, they are reducing the amount of water they use in their production process.
To further support biodiversity, Adnams has introduced honeybees, along with a variety of flora and fauna, at their distribution centre, fostering a thriving natural environment and enhancing local ecosystems.
Having partnered with us through a trusted recommendation, Adnams can confidently rely on SmartestEnergy as a dependable partner in their sustainability journey. With independent verification from the Carbon Trust across all our renewable products, Adnams has the assurance that 100% of the electricity supplied is renewable, backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) certificates. This provides them with the confidence that they are making the right choices to meet their sustainability goals.
Through our work with Adnams and other leading businesses, we’re creating connections between communities and simplifying access to renewable energy. Together, we are fostering an inclusive community of green energy champions, empowering, educating, and enabling individuals and businesses to make informed choices for a sustainable future.
Environmental awareness is embedded within Adnams’ team, and they continue to share their authentic sustainability journey, resonating strongly with customers and inspiring others to follow their lead.
