EDF has entered a three-year agreement to supply renewable energy to hospitality firm Whitbread, which owns brands such as Premier Inn. The zero-carbon electricity provided under this agreement will be certified to ensure its renewable status from wind and solar sources.
“This energy partnership reflects a shared vision for a sustainable, net zero future,” said EDF in a statement.
Raghav Singh, Director of Large Business at EDF Business Solutions, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We're excited to work with Whitbread as their energy provider, reinforcing our position as a low carbon energy partner of choice to market leading organisations. We look forward to building on this new partnership, supporting Whitbread in their net zero ambitions.”
Dan Urwin, Whitbread's Head of Procurement for Performance, Corporate Services, Utilities, and IT, highlighted the importance of the agreement for the company's sustainability goals: “As a business that is committed to operating as a force for good, we're delighted to partner with EDF to continue our longstanding commitment to renewable energy. Our guests really care about environmental issues and this partnership demonstrates our commitment to a more sustainable future.”
