The Power of Progress
Shaping the future of energy
Climate sustainability
Our sustainable journey at E.ON
From making our sites more sustainable to helping our colleagues be better together, we’re working towards a brighter tomorrow. Across our sites, we’ve implemented a number of changes such as adding solar panels, heat pumps, EV chargers, and rainwater harvesting.
3.3bn invested in UK renewables
We pioneered the UK's renewable revolution through a vast portfolio of wind farms.
Reducing our plastic use
We’ve reduced the use of single use plastics at our offices and only use environmentally friendly cleaning products across our UK sites.
Switching to electric
We’ll be making our entire UK fleet 100% electric by the end of 2030.

What our colleagues are saying
George Ward-Kozera, Senior Brand Project Manager
“E.ON really welcomes the differences that people have. You can be the face of E.ON, no matter what your face looks like. When I first started in energy at another company, it wouldn't have been the case that I could parade around as I do – tattoos on my hands, pink hair sometimes – and still be someone in an influential role. One of the main things that I've learned from E.ON is confidence. We have a growth culture of openness, willingness to learn and a real emphasis on helping people grow into the best that they can be.”
Jude Topham, Degree Apprentice
“Initially it was the apprenticeship scheme that attracted me to E.ON. I knew I wanted to get a degree, but traditional university wasn’t for me, so I looked into what other things were available. E.ON really stuck out to me as a reputable brand that does good things that I wanted to be a part of. Net zero, sustainability… the more I looked into it, the more I thought I want to be a part of that business. People are quick to worry that you’ll miss out on things by going straight into a work environment, but I think the development I’ve had at E.ON so far has been priceless.”
Radhika Sharma, Commercial Contract Analyst
“It’s massively important to me that E.ON facilitates the ability for me to contribute to the local community. As part of the Enterprise Advisor programme, I’ve been partnered with a local school in Nottingham. I work with the school’s careers team to support their Year 10 and 11 students with everything from mock interviews, presentations, Q&A sessions and general insight into what working in the energy sector can bring. Helping young people understand the energy industry is incredibly rewarding. Unless people that work in our industry explain its scale and impact, young people won’t understand the amazing career opportunities it presents.”
