For almost 90 years, Calor has ensured that homes and businesses across Ireland – and particularly rural Ireland – have had access to clean, reliable, lower carbon energy, regardless of location. Calor’s purpose is to drive Ireland’s energy transition and create a sustainable future for generations to come. That purpose is underpinned by Calor’s achievement of the coveted Business Working Responsibly Mark in 2020, Ireland’s Economic, Environmental, Social and Governance (EESG) standard.
Calor is one of only 40 leading companies in Ireland who have been awarded the Mark. It was developed by Business in the Community Ireland in 2010 and is externally verified following an independent audit by the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI).

Chief Executive of Calor
Calor’s sustainability commitments include delivering a best-in-class customer experience; promoting employee wellbeing, diversity and development; responsible product development and promotion; environmental stewardship, and community engagement.
Through its core LPG product and growing sustainable fuels offering, Calor plays a crucial role in Ireland’s energy transition, providing cleaner alternatives to traditional fuels to homes and businesses located off the natural gas grid.
At an operational level, Calor is committed to driving emissions reductions across its sites with a focus on fleet and energy efficiency measures.
Actions taken to date include installing smart meters to measure and report on energy usage, the introduction of energy efficiency LED lighting as well as tackling energy management using LPG/BioLPG, solar panels and renewable electricity. Calor is also currently trialling the use of HVO to drive fleet emission reductions.
Tomás Sercovich
CEO, Business in the Community Ireland
Calor employees are crucial ambassadors for sustainability, supported by an active leaders’ team. The company is hosting its second annual Staff Sustainability Day on April 24th, aligning with Earth Day 2024’s theme of ‘Planet vs Plastics’.
The company has introduced a series of employee initiatives including the 'Spring Planting for Biodiversity' campaign, adopting a beehive with Blackwater Honey based in Co. Cork and renewed its partnership with the Rewrite program, an initiative under the Cool Planet Group, aimed at educating schoolchildren about sustainability and climate change.
As Calor proudly continues its EESG journey, together, we're not only shaping a sustainable future for generations to come but also fostering a culture of responsibility and environmental stewardship. Join us in celebrating progress and embracing our collective path to a more sustainable tomorrow.
