Environmental impact
At Bounce, we have a Strategic Intent to install renewable solutions that save CO2, the equivalent of planting half a million trees or over 20 million miles in a car.
According to a study by the UK’s Energy Saving Trust, an average air source heat pump in the UK can save up to 4.6
tonnes of CO2 emissions per year when replacing an oil boiler and up to 6.8 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year when replacing an electric heating system. A typical 5kW solar panel system can save roughly about the same.
Social development
We recognise that we have an important role to play in promoting social development. Here are some key aspects of their social responsibility:
Job creation: We can create jobs and stimulate local economic development. We prioritize hiring locally and supporting the development of local businesses, particularly in areas that may have been impacted by the decline of traditional industries.
Education and training: We support education and training programs that promote the development of skills needed for the renewable energy industry. This can create a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce, and contribute to long-term social development.
Community engagement: We engage with local communities and stakeholders to understand their needs and concerns, and let that help to shape our future direction.
Our social responsibility
We have a social responsibility to operate in a way that aligns with our commitment to sustainability and the environment. Here are some key aspects of our social responsibility:
Environmental impact: We minimise our own carbon footprint, reducing waste and pollution.
Engagement: We ensure that our operations are respectful not just to the property owner but also to their neighbours. We are totally accountable for any negative impacts.
Transparency: We are transparent about our operations, performance, and impacts.
Innovation: Our aim is to continually improve the efficiency and sustainability of the product we supply and install. We also actively seek out new technologies and innovations that can contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
Renewables Vs Fossil fuels
Renewable energy sources have significant advantages over fossil fuels in terms of sustainability, efficiency, and environmental impact.
Sustainability: Renewable energy sources are sustainable and can be replenished naturally, while fossil fuels are finite and will eventually run out. Renewables also have a much lower carbon footprint than fossil fuels, which contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slowing down climate change.
Efficiency: Renewables can be highly efficient and produce more energy than they consume. For example, solar panels can convert up to 20% of the sun’s energy into usable electricity, while fossil fuel power plants typically have efficiency rates of around 30 40%.
Environmental impact: Fossil fuels have significant environmental impacts, including air and water pollution, habitat destruction, and the release of greenhouse gases. Renewables, on the other hand, have minimal environmental impacts and can help to reduce pollution and protect natural ecosystems.
