Sadly, programs under these initiatives can be challenging to fund — and you may have struggled with logistic and budget-related hurdles when bringing your sustainability programs to life. However, what if you could finance an innovative sustainability project without the added allocation? We’re here to offer a solution — just as we did for one of our customers. We recently helped a customer offer interest-free solar finance to their employees, fully funded through savings discovered in their telecom review. Do you want to know how it went? Read on to find out. ## Turning Telecom Savings Into Solar Panel Loans At VoicePlus, we’ve always been about [cost optimisation](https://www.voiceplus.com.au/services/telecom-expense-management) and [centralized asset tracking](https://www.voiceplus.com.au/enterprise-outcomes/cost-visibility). These enable organisations like yours to keep costs down while maintaining productivity. However, sometimes, the results are gateways to other opportunities like enterprise sustainability projects. This is exactly what happened with one of our clients. We audited our client and found excess in the telecom budget. After signing up for our [telecom expense management](https://www.voiceplus.com.au/services/telecom-expense-management), the customer was able to see significant savings — enough to fund an innovative staff project. From here, the company offered interest-free loans for solar energy installations. Right away, 25% of the workforce adopted the program, which spoke volumes of its tangible value. ## Broader Benefits Beyond the Budget The solar loan program was a hit among the company’s workers. However, there were other benefits that went beyond the program’s popularity. More specifically, on the HR front, the program was able to strengthen employee retention due to the new perk. The initiative showed current employees that the company cared about their financial health and sustainability values. Of course, there were enterprise sustainability benefits as well. More specifically, the initiative helps reduce the company’s carbon footprint, enabling the company to meet its environmental responsibility objectives. ## The Difference Creative Reinvestment Makes Traditionally, telecom expense management is nothing more than[budget control](https://www.accountingdepartment.com/blog/telecom-travel-technology-expense-management), but as shown by the organisation we assisted, there’s a way to reallocate savings in a way that benefits corporate reputation and market positioning. By not returning savings to the general budget, the company was able to fuel a strategic initiative that benefited employees and helped the company meet [ESG targets](https://aplanet.org/resources/esg-goals/). ## We Can Help Your Organisation Uncover Saving Opportunities for Your Other Goals Finding areas where you can save on telecom costs isn’t always easy — but it can be with the right partner. Through our telecom expense management solution, we can uncover inefficiencies through our audits and real-time expense visibility. Our Atrium is a comprehensive platform that shows data-driven insights on where your telecom budget goes, giving us a clearer idea of where you can save.
