The new LED lighting will last for up to 50 times longer than the previous bulbs. In addition to improving BEC\u2019s green credentials, the new LED installation provides brighter, more consistent lighting across the factory- allowing for easier quality control checks and precision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Electric Vehicle Charger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another green addition to BEC Group\u2019s site is our electric vehicle charging point. The fully functioning charging point is available for visitors, customers, and staff free of charge. We hope that the charging point will encourage our staff to swap to hybrid or fully electric vehicles where possible, and to future proof BEC as these vehicles become increasingly commonplace. Please find the charging point in the far-right hand corner of our car park.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2853 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EV-Charger-Sustainability-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EV-Charger-Sustainability-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EV-Charger-Sustainability-scaled-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EV-Charger-Sustainability-scaled-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EV-Charger-Sustainability-scaled-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EV-Charger-Sustainability-scaled-1-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EV-Charger-Sustainability-scaled-1-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EV-Charger-Sustainability-scaled-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To reduce the amount of energy BEC Group uses and invest further in sustainability, we have made the switch from legacy fluorescent lighting to energy saving LED lights&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.becgroup.com\/news\/bec-group-invests-in-sustainability\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2852,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
