We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Happy Energy Solutions Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets

We also pledge the following:

Throughout our organisation and business dealings. Employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community. Provide and/or promote training, such as e-learning, for your staff on the Armed Forces Community. Promote the Armed Forces Covenant, and your support for the Armed Forces Community to your staff, customers/service users, supply chains and the wider public. Use the Covenant and Employer Recognition Scheme logos in your communications and marketing. Signpost members of the Armed Forces Community to available support, for example from Cobseo, the Veterans Gateway or statutory services in your area. Engage with any local Armed Forces presence for example, local Army units, reservist units, RAF stations and/or naval bases. Develop relationships and work collaboratively with other organisations supporting the Covenant and the Armed Forces Community in your locality/region. Ensure the Armed Forces Community has fair access to our services and is not put at a disadvantage by their service, for example as a result of their high mobility. Prioritising access to grant-funded energy improvements for veterans and Service families - We will ensure that veterans, serving personnel, and their families are given clear guidance and priority access to available energy efficiency grants, including ECO4 and Warm Homes schemes, where eligibility allows. Promoting warmer, safer homes for Service leavers - Through our funded retrofit programmes, we will actively support veterans and Service leavers in achieving warmer, healthier, and more energy-efficient homes, reducing the risk of fuel poverty and cold-related ill health. Supporting physical and mental wellbeing through improved living conditions - We recognise the link between housing quality and health. By providing whole-house energy efficiency upgrades, we aim to support the long-term wellbeing of Armed Forces families, including those experiencing poor mental or physical health. Working with local authorities and military charities to identify eligible households - We will engage with organisations such as SSAFA, The Royal British Legion, and local Armed Forces community leads to raise awareness of funding opportunities and support veterans in navigating the process. Offering additional flexibility around access and scheduling - Where possible, we will offer flexible appointment times and sensitive communication to accommodate those with PTSD, mobility challenges, or other health-related needs linked to military service. Promote awareness of housing and homelessness services among the Armed Forces Community. Education Promote training opportunities for Service leavers, ex-Service personnel and their families as part of our Social Value commitments. Civic responsibilities Organise, facilitate, promote and/or take part in remembrance and other ceremonial activities.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
