The greener, the better – Additional revenues for your company
A great number of companies do not take energy usage seriously. What seems to have been lost in the mass of renewable energy systems are everyday energy reduction measures and energy efficiency. This is why sustainability needs to be at the heart of our strategies, so that we can get business opportunities. Energy conservation has the most positive and immediate benefit for companies and individuals and has the highest profile in terms of impact and effect.
Cost savings Things are pretty simple: what you don’t measure or monitor, you can’t improve. It is well known that it is better and cheaper to reduce energy than to build new capacity conventional or subsidized renewable power systems. Business leaders have realized that, so more and more policies are being produced, encouraging energy reduction rather than energy production. Basically, economic benefits can be noticed within the first month if a monitoring system is implemented, and it can be used by every member of the team, regardless of their technical expertise.
Reducing risks
Risk is a huge issue that businesses have to deal with on an on-going basis. Risk basically is what your shareholders are looking at when they put money into the business. Sustainability is one of the biggest risks facing almost every industry in the world right now, but also the risk that oil / water / natural resources run out or the risk that the government can shut down the companies that pollute too much. If you will reduce your business risks, you will protect yourself against potential future risks. Legislation and regulation is coming. No matter where are you living, it’s already there. So you can pre-empt it. And in fact if you pre-empt that, you will get a huge public
exposure by actually supporting the government and that can be a great way to beat your competition.
Competitive advantages and customer loyalty
Actually, green programs can provide a competitive advantage for companies. In time, green practices will become a baseline requirement, so you will build social capital, making sure your community will be on your side if something is going to happen in the future. Also, over the past years, there has been a shift in the consumer’s expectations and demands - customer loyalty may increase once the company has demonstrated a level of environmental commitment by reducing energy usage.
What we have to keep in mind is that businesses can take advantage of new technologies to reduce energy costs. Securing the future will bring great benefits from and will increase our earnings for a long time. IT GreenLight supports the fight against energy waste and provides proper solutions for this.
