About Eden Sustainable
Founded in 2014, Eden is an award-winning, certified B | Corp and is widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading developers of commercial and industrial (C&I) solar energy solutions.
Eden Sustainable is a 100% owned subsidiary of AMPYR Distributed Energy (ADE), a global leader in sustainable infrastructure and technologies.
The combined forces of Eden and ADE mean that not only does Eden enjoy strong financial backing, but also that its customers are able to benefit from an unrivalled depth of industry experience and know-how.
Our Mission and Values
Our mission is to be a leader in the transition towards a more sustainable future.
This commitment drives everything we do and is built on core values of trust, integrity, expertise and care. We believe in 'Profit with Purpose' – achieving commercial success whilst delivering positive environmental impact.
Each individual within our organisation plays a crucial role in driving forward our mission and delivering the best outcome for our clients. Meet some of the team behind our projects and learn more about the people who are shaping the future of renewable energy.
Our Financial Backing
Eden Sustainable is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMPYR Distributed Energy, a dedicated UK and European solar investor with £300 million committed specifically for commercial and industrial installations. That capital sits on ADE's balance sheet, not with an external fund manager subject to market conditions.
For customers, it means one thing in practice: the organisation funding your project and the organisation delivering it are the same business, with aligned incentives across the full 25-year life of the agreement.
Our Accreditations and Awards
Our accreditations and industry partnerships provide independent assurance of our expertise, quality and compliance with recognised standards. Combined with our close collaboration with fully accredited installation partners, this ensures every Eden project meets the highest technical, safety and regulatory requirements.
Alongside industry recognition, awards and active membership of leading trade bodies, this approach reinforces Eden’s position as a trusted authority in commercial solar and gives our clients complete confidence from design through to delivery.
Being a B-Corp is important for Eden as it aligns with our commitment to conduct our business in a way that shows care for the planet and for all our stakeholders. It reinforces our dedication to balancing profit and purpose, ensuring that we meet rigorous social and environmental standards.
Purpose and structure are the same thing for us
B Corp certification and ADE ownership might look like separate credentials: one about values, one about finance. We think they tell the same story.
The B Corp assessment process asks whether a business's commitments to people and planet are structural, not just stated. The same question applies to the commercial commitments we make to our customers. When we sign a 25-year PPA with a client, we are promising to fund, build, maintain, and perform against a specification for the entire life of that agreement. That promise is only as good as the organisation making it.
As a result of ADE funding every Eden project from a committed in-house balance sheet rather than from external capital markets, the incentives over that 25-year period are genuinely aligned with the customer's interests. There is no refinancing pressure that might prompt a change in O&M standards in year 12.
That alignment between purpose and structure is what B Corp certification is trying to measure. It is also what makes a long-term solar agreement worth signing. For Eden, they are not separate considerations.
