ovo plan zero

We’re not just asking you to aim for zero – we’re joining you!

Change takes all of us. So we’ve committed to being a net zero carbon business by 2035, while helping members like you halve your carbon footprint at the same time. We’ll get this done by managing our emissions as an organisation, and helping you to do the same.

We call it Plan Zero, and we’re not doing it alone. All the companies in the OVO family are working towards the same goals.

Carbon-cutting energy is just the beginning

carbon cutting energy

The journey to zero carbon is about more than just renewable energy. It’s about changing the way we use energy in our homes and beyond them. And new technologies will help us.

That’s why we’re crunching smart meter data into easy, personalised actions, turning electric vehicles into power stations with clever chargers, keeping you cosy with energy-efficient heaters– and developing lots of new tech for the future.

When you join OVO, you join a team of us making small changes to our energy use to help build a sustainable energy system of the future.

Creating a greener, brighter future for the next generation

ovo foundation

We believe every child and young person should have access to nature - and be able to learn about protecting the planet they love. That’s why we launched OVO Foundation in 2014, OVO’s climate-focused charity. We’re supporting climate action and education projects for kids across the UK, giving them the tools they need to become the green guardians of tomorrow.

Everything we do at the OVO Foundation is funded by generous donations from our customers. 100% of that money goes directly to our projects, and we match every penny donated. So together, we can do double the good! 

We’ve also planted over a million carbon-fighting trees in towns and cities across the UK through our I Dig Trees programme. And this number keeps on growing!
