The Case for Enterprise Energy Management Nigel Griffiths 20 July 2011
Engage & Explore Enterprise environmental and energy management needs to be managed as a new system of record with its own set of business processes, rules for accountability among all the major stakeholders with systems that are designed specifically for this purpose • Familiarise yourself with your current activities. • Understand what is working and what is not. • Appreciate the needs and drivers of different stakeholders • Aggregate, organize, analyse and compare • Put in place single system of record: • Reduce administrative costs on reporting & compliance • Meet the demands from your supply chain
Key Principles of Environmental Data: • Data: Do it right, do it once • Understand existing systems/processes within your business so that you don’t reinvent the wheel but complement and support • Fit for Purpose – too little, too much - perception vs reality • Accuracy - take estimating out of the equation • Benchmark – how far off the mark are you? What is the potential to improve? What should be disposed of!!
Assess & Plan • Identify your key sources/emission activity • Identify and prioritize strategies • Build the business case according to what your stakeholders understand: Payback, NPV, IRR, ROI, life cycle carbon cost accounting. • Set targets on known information – allows both top down and bottom up to meet in the middle • Provide a plan for the implementation of the actions required to meet any targets • Build in flexibility within your opportunity management system to take account of tariffs, carbon floor price etc. And keep up to date with developments • AND the mechanisms required to monitor them • Pre & Post measurement verification plan
Act • This is not just about implementation of measures: • Track energy efficiency and other clean technology initiatives, • Establish governance: • KPIs, benchmarking, performance management • Report progress • Verify results – share knowledge of successes • Internally & externally • Re-invest!!
Innovate • Engage partners upstream and downstream of value chain • Make it easier to engage partners in resource efficiency and sustainability initiatives without causing survey fatigue • Broaden your horizons • Waste, water, transport, community, health & wellbeing • Build a knowledge base and library of best practices • What worked... What didn’t work!
