Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful information about Mitie’s decarbonisation services, solutions and technology and how we can help your organisation.

A net zero strategy is a plan for organisations to cut carbon emissions as close to zero as possible. Decarbonisation usually requires effective carbon accounting and reporting, together with practical changes such as sustainable energy procurement and transitioning to an electric fleet.

Key steps in creating a net zero strategy include assessing your current emissions, setting your aims, and identifying reduction pathways. Following this, you’ll need to implement your strategy, make sure your stakeholders are engaged, and continue to monitor and report on your progress.

Net zero planning is the process of designing a clear, actionable roadmap that guides an organisation toward eliminating, reducing or sometimes offsetting carbon emissions within a set timeframe.

Net zero emissions covers all greenhouse gases, aiming to balance their output and removal. Net zero carbon focuses specifically on offsetting carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions alone.

Mitie supports decarbonisation through energy audits, roadmaps, low carbon technologies and digital optimisation, helping clients cut emissions while maintaining operational performance.

Yes. Mitie designs and delivers practical net zero pathways, supporting Scope 1, 2 and 3 reductions with verified data, transparent reporting and aligned investment plans.

Mitie uses smart meters, IoT sensors, AI analytics and energy platforms to identify inefficiencies, optimise consumption and verify carbon and cost savings at portfolio level.

Mitie delivers upgrades such as LED lighting, heat pumps, solar PV, EV charging and BMS optimisation, managing projects from design through installation and performance monitoring.

Plan Zero is Mitie’s end to end approach to decarbonisation, combining strategy, delivery and data. It helps organisations reduce emissions, cut energy costs and secure long term resilience across buildings, estates and fleets.

Mitie builds practical decarbonisation strategies using baseline assessments, carbon modelling and cost analysis. This creates a clear, prioritised roadmap that aligns net zero ambition with business objectives, budgets and operational risk.

Mitie uses real time data, intelligent energy monitoring and efficiency measures to reduce consumption and waste. By targeting high impact interventions, organisations can lower energy costs while accelerating measurable carbon reduction.

Mitie improves efficiency through smarter maintenance, digital insights and demand led operations. This reduces energy use, avoids unplanned asset failure and lowers emissions while maintaining safe, compliant and high performing environments.

Mitie decarbonises buildings through low carbon heating, controls optimisation, renewable integration and asset upgrades. Changes are designed, delivered and managed in house to minimise disruption and maximise long term performance.

Mitie helps organisations secure energy through renewables such as solar, on site generation and smarter energy management. This reduces reliance on volatile markets, improves resilience and supports long term decarbonisation goals.

Mitie provides transparent carbon measurement, reporting and performance tracking. Data led insights show progress against targets, support ESG reporting and help organisations continuously refine and accelerate their net zero pathway.
