Breast Cancer Now
After an employee vote, Breast Cancer Now became our chosen charity partner. We’re part way through a three-year partnership with the aim of raising £450,000 for vital research into tackling breast cancer.
Big Energy Project
Working alongside the education charity Transformation Trust, we developed the Big Energy Project: an initiative to engage students with the issue of energy consumption. The goal is to encourage young people to consider energy issues from a younger age – and, in turn, inspire their families and communities to consider their relationship with energy. In its fourth year, we’ve worked with 93 schools and reached over 5,000 students and just under 200,000 community members.
The Pod
Inspiring young people to use energy sustainably. Educating the importance of a low-carbon future. Promoting STEM careers. The Pod is EDF Energy’s environmental education programme – and, since 2008, we’ve reached a monumental 10-million children across 18,000 schools.
From initiatives like Switch-Off Fortnight and Waste Week, to working with partners including Eco-Schools, the Met Office and the British Science Association, The Pod is reshaping the our relationship with energy.
