OREANDA-NEWS. SSE Enterprise has teamed up with the Daily Telegraph to investigate the many ways in which energy use can affect the bottom line of British businesses.

For the most recent round-table event in our collaborative campaign, we brought together experts from the UK’s financial sector: Helen Molyneux, director of Cambridge Risk Solutions; Rick Stathers, head of responsible investment at Schroders; Adrian Reed, managing director of Altium; and Colin Sempill, managing director of SSE Enterprise Telecoms.

Topics discussed included a general misunderstanding of energy use in the financial sector; the concerns that are being prioritised over energy efficiency; and the steps that are being taken by technology giants to reduce the power usage of their data centres.

The discussion was chaired by Rebecca Burn-Callander, the Telegraph’s enterprise editor.
