About Ecotricity Business
We’re on a mission to change the world – so we’re looking for awesome people who want to make a difference every day. No clock-watchers, just earth-shakers.
Climate change is the biggest challenge we face – and the only way to stop it is by changing the way we all live our lives. That means changing how we power our homes, our businesses and our vehicles, changing what we eat and how we make it, and ensuring all the decisions we make are sustainable and have an ethical, green outcome. That’s where we come in.
We’re not just a business energy company, we make a difference at the very centre of things in Britain. We focus on energy, transport, and food because, between them, they account for 80% of all our carbon emissions. By changing those three things and supporting nature, we can make a huge difference.
