Evidently the Stevenage H.Q. is "carbon neutral." It also boasts being supplied by 100 per cent renewable energy. How exactly is this achieved?

    It is a marketing ploy.  As I understand it, the suppliers plant trees, buy certificates etc. to offset the non-green energy they supply.  Presumably, when the sun is shining and the wind blowing they plant fewer trees.  There is no way that a consumer can be supplied with 100% renewable energy unless they have a personal supply from a wind farm.  But the average consumer doesn't have a clue.
