ESOS – how compliance can be your business weapon
ESOS is the UK government’s mandatory energy saving initiative, introduced in response to the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive. Companies affected must comply with ESOS phase 2 by 5th December, or face fines.
We believe ESOS shouldn’t be seen as a regulatory hurdle. In fact it’s an opportunity for your organisation to improve and gain business advantages such as improved performance, cost savings, or aligning your estates closer to your broader organisational objectives.
Mike Kenny is an accredited ESOS lead assessor. Watch his 30 second introduction to ESOS phase 2..
1: Review your ESOS phase 1 recommendations

3: Agree a budget – and the upside!
4: Use the guidance available
5: Run an internal assessment
6: Make sure senior stakeholders understand ESOS
7: Find & appoint an accredited ESOS lead assessor
8: Get ready
9: Communicate the results
10: Set your own medium term targets
