The path to decarbonizing an organization requires strategic planning, continual nurturing, and corporate-wide involvement. Your decarbonization plan will continually evolve as energy technologies advance, carbon mitigation mandates progress, your business grows, and energy needs change. Decarbonization encompasses the business programs, products, and practices of an organization which that support environmental preservation and are intertwined with social responsibility and business resiliency.
Transitioning to an energy strategy that includes renewable energy sources is the foundation of sustainability. But incorporating renewable energy into an organization can be a nuanced and complex process. It requires understanding your energy consumption across the entire organization, uncovering opportunities for energy efficiency and integrating renewables, setting decarbonization goals, and monitoring your progress. To achieve this, you must take a deep dive into your energy data.

HOW DECARBONIZATION CREATES BUSINESS VALUE
The sustainability values and practices of a business can not only impact an organization’s resiliency and surrounding community, but the global economy and environment as well. If your organization has not yet integrated renewable energy into its commercial energy mix, you are likely seeking best practices to do so because clean energy makes good business sense. Whether it’s a wind or solar energy project or buying renewable energy credits (RECs), renewables help to reduce costs and energy price volatility while offsetting carbon emissions and boosting public appeal.
