FLEXIBILITY STATEMENT

The fast moving nature of the company’s business means that from time to time you may be asked to perform duties or tasks outside of your original job description on an ad hoc basis. This allows the company to use it’s people in the best possible way at all times and helps the employees to make make their contribution in a changing environment.
Ecotricity is Britain’s greenest energy company. When we started back in 1995, we were the first company in the world to provide a new kind of electricity- the green kind.
Our mission was, and remains, to change the way energy is made and used in Britain- by replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy.
We don’t just supply green energy, we use the money from our customers’ bills to make it ourselves too- we build windmills and sun parks in Britain. We call this ‘bills in to mills’. In 2021, we started work on building two new solar parks, and now, in 2024, we’re bringing geothermal energy to our customers’ fuel mix, a first in the UK. We’re also developing green gas mills which will generate 100% green gas from a source that we will never run out of- grass.
We don’t just focus on energy though- we built Electric Highways, Britain’s leading network of electric vehicle charging points, we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world, and, in partnership with RSPB, we launched Britain’s greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk + RSPB.
