Sustainability
We’re on a mission to make clean power accessible – decarbonising transport and energy at scale.
Our sustainability commitment
At Zenobē, we’re driving the transition to net zero by making clean power accessible. We do this through the innovative use of battery storage.
By financing, designing, building and operating battery systems, we are accelerating the switch to electric fleets, and maximising the uptake of renewables.
We are implementing our solutions at scale to make the greatest impact.
Sustainability pillars
In the first half of 2023, Zenobē established its dedicated Safety, Health, Environment & Quality (SHEQ) function, integrating sustainability into the core of our business to ensure our mission of making clean power accessible is backed by a solid foundation of best practices.
Key steps for this team included planning for a comprehensive materiality assessment, partnering with the carbon accounting platform Watershed, improving company-wide data collection and developing essential policies to guide our sustainability strategy. This vision is underpinned by our sustainability pillars.
Accelerating renewables and electrification
We do this by deploying grid-scale battery storage to capture otherwise wasted energy, and by enabling organisations to electrify their heavy vehicles at speed.
Supporting customers, communities and our people
We are dedicated to fostering strong relationships with our customers, supporting local communities, and investing in our workforce to create a positive social impact.
Ensuring good governance
We uphold the highest standards of governance, transparency, and ethical business practices, ensuring accountability and integrity in all our operations.
UNSDG
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seek to tackle global challenges like poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, prosperity, and the promotion of peace and justice. These goals aim to create a more sustainable world by 2030 and provide a useful and verified external framework against which we could test our strategy.
Zenobē fully endorses the vision of all 17 goals, but we see five specific goals where we can make a meaningful impact.
By providing innovative energy storage solutions that enable increased integration of renewable energy.
Our modular solutions remove technological and financial risk for operators, enabling them to electrify at speed.
Our electric fleets help operators bring zero emissions vehicles to their communities which improve air quality and deliver better public transport.
Using EV batteries in second-life applications, to ensure we increase the lifetime carbon savings of each battery and keep them out of landfills.
Decarbonising the energy and transport sector.
Sustainability report 2023
Starting sustainably and building the baseline
We are pleased to share our inaugural Sustainability Report, covering our global operations across the UK and Ireland, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. This report details our goals, strategy, and key achievements in 2023.
With sustainability sitting at the core of our mission to make clean power accessible, the report sets a sustainable baseline against which we intend to continuously improve.

Transparency and best practice
We track and measure our carbon impact in two ways. One, as carbon footprint, which you can find more detail about in our sustainability report and two, as carbon avoided.
To measure carbon avoided, we developed a robust methodology and tool which is independently verified and aligned with the best practices currently available. By sharing this information, we aim to provide reliable insights into the environmental benefits of our operations.
