Mitie has today announced that it has supported Vodafone UK in reducing its carbon footprint, saving 100 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy, equivalent to 25,000 tonnes of CO2, in just three years. The energy saved could power a town with a population of 65,000 people for a year and represents a financial saving of around £10 million. The energy savings were achieved by optimising heating and cooling systems in offices and managing air flow to keep technical sites cool in the most energy efficient way; and were validated by third-party energy auditor EEVS.
A new survey undertaken by Mitie, the UK’s leading facilities management and professional services company, revealed that the move to electric vehicles (EVs) has been well received by employees, with 91% of Mitie’s EV drivers saying they’re glad they switched. The results also showed that drivers would encourage more people to follow in their footsteps, with around nine in ten saying that they would recommend switching to their friends and family (89%) and colleagues (92%).
Mitie’s frontline heroes have been working tirelessly to keep the UK running during the pandemic – cleaning supermarkets and hospitals; setting-up drive-in test centres and Nightingale Hospitals; and maintaining production lines in pharmaceutical plants.

In addition to this, Mitie has introduced a number of industry-leading benefits to ensure that all its employees have access to the health and wellbeing support they need and to give them peace of mind during the Coronavirus pandemic.
