ORM and Planet-U Energy align with Energy For Movement

Shared aims of the new innovative partnership include generating gifted activity places for children and young adults across the UK through a new specific Energy For Movement business to business initiative. In 2021, ORM events are also due to take place at Planet-U Energy powered venues and stadiums that use the latest renewable and sustainable energy technologies, helping to reduce ORM’s carbon footprint. 

Planet-U Energy (PUE) is the UK’s fastest growing, independent, renewable energy company. The business was established in 2018 and operates nationally from the Head Office based in Leeds. Their aim is to help all businesses, from offices to stadiums, factories and schools, to save time and money whilst reducing their carbon footprint, by switching to renewable energy and using the latest sustainable technology. 

One Running Movement (ORM) was established to help to create more active communities, break down barriers of entry to activity, provide social intergenerational connectivity and support the creation of healthy habits. By encouraging school age pupils, siblings and families to get active, ORM is utilising the power of sport to improve health, strengthen resilience, build mental health and increase overall confidence through running, daily activity and movement. 

The Energy For Movement initiative has been launched to support ORM's mission to generate and provide free activity places for ages 4 to 16, and PUE’s drive to make renewable energy totally transparent, so that every company can take action today for a more sustainable tomorrow. Any businesses switching to renewable energy with Planet-U Energy and signing up to be MOVERS with ORM will see a reduction in their annual energy bills as well as a % of their annual energy bills being converted into movement through this unique partnership, Energy For Movement.

Grant Nicholson, Chief Executive of Planet-U Energy said: "I am very keen that Planet-U Energy tackles social change as well as climate change, so I am very excited about the opportunity to work with ORM, their partners and our collaborative MOVERS to ensure that our communities become healthier and more active.”

Rebecca Richardson, Co-Founder of ORM commented: "We are a strong force of nature individually but even more powerful by working together. We are delighted to announce this energised and innovative Powered By Partnership with Planet-U Energy focused around Energy For Movement. Becoming MOVERS with your business is easy to do, saves you money, contributes to saving the planet and helps more 4 to 16 year olds to be active. We are all winners here by adopting an approach that focuses on sustainability, movement and natural resources.”
