Community Telco's Partnership with Bendigo Bank's Generation Green™ Energy Saver Initiative saves Victorian businesses $2.5 Million in energy bills and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 19,037 tonnes!
Thank you to all our customers who participated in the Generation Green™ Energy Saver Initiative. The program was completed on June 30th with an outstanding 4,455 business participants.
As part of the program partnership with the Victorian Employers’ Chamber of Commerce & Industry (VECCI) and the Victorian Governments’ Carbon Down program the Victorian Bendigo Bank branches will be distributing over 5,000 energy-saving power boards (valued at $49.95 each) to the businesses that participated. These power boards will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 4 tonnes each over their life. This is a total of 19,037 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions – which is equivalent to taking almost 4,500 cars off the road for a whole year.
Furthermore, the energy-saving power boards will also provide the participating businesses the opportunity to save up to $500 individually and a combined $2.5 Million in unnecessary stand-by energy use every year. Across Australia this annual stand-by energy consumption costs the business community more than $588 Million.
Participating businesses visited the Community Telco website, clicked on a link that then took them to the Banks Generation Green website and told us what their business / organisation has done or could do to save energy and reduce its environmental impact for the opportunity to win $10,000 to ‘green their business’. Runner-up prizes included Bendigo Bank Financial Planning advice and services valued at $5,000 and Business Energy Assessment from VECCI Sustainability Services valued at $1,000.
The Banks Environment & Sustainability team is working with VECCI to review the entrants’ ideas and the winners will be announced on the 15th July. The impressive quality of entries reviewed so far illustrate the great level of interest and time Australian businesses are investing in considering their energy consumption and environmental impact.
The Community Telco group is committed to supporting the local communities in which it operates.
