Sustainability Planning

Transitioning to Sustainability

Sustainability is a journey, and no two sustainability plans are alike. Your sustainability plan should meet the unique needs of your business. The path to becoming a more sustainable organization requires strategic planning, continual nurturing, andcorporate-wide involvement. Your sustainability plan will continually evolve as energy technologies advance, carbon mitigation mandates progress, your business grows, and energy needs change. Sustainability is a gateway to positive ESG outcomes. It is a cornerstone that touches all areas of a business—beyond just environmental. Sustainability encompasses the business programs, products, and practices of an organization which 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 sustainability goals, and monitoring your progress. To achieve this, you must take a deep dive into your energy data.

How sustainability creates business value

The sustainability values and practices of a business can not only impact an organization’s resiliency, sustainability, 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.
