You’re busy running your business so it’s likely you’ve considered sustainability projects, but haven’t had a chance to get around to it. But with more than 75% of businesses like yours having already taken at least one step to reduce energy consumption, reality suggests it’s not as difficult as it seems.
Energy Efficiency
– Good For Business
The number of businesses taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint points to another significant fact – consumers prefer to do business with environmentally conscious companies. In a 2017 study, more than 85% of people indicated they would have more trust, feel more loyal, and hold a more positive image of a company that supports sustainability.
Similarly, businesses indicate corporate sustainability priorities are important when it comes to recruiting new talent.
– Pays For Itself
Beyond improved reputation, energy efficiency reduces consumption and controls cost. In fact, for both industrial and small commercial buildings alike, studies show simple paybacks from energy savings alone of 2 years or less – meaning annual energy savings of at least 50%.
Businesses like yours have been surprised when they realize such programs really do work. And then they wonder why they waited.
