  7. New opportunity • Name: Embedding Resource Efficiency in Key Sectors • Duration: October 2009 – December 2012 • Value: £9,993,000 • Key Metrics: Jobs, Sales, People Trained • Key Impacts: Costs Savings (Energy, Water, Materials, Waste diverted from landfill) • Scope: Resource Efficiency • Environmental Risk • Sustainable Procurement • …Cluster specific activity

  10. The effects of other metrics on activity and impact Target = number of businesses advised Activity = light touch, one off interventions training events, basic site visit no triage Impact = difficult to measure likely to be minimal

  11. The effects of other metrics on activity and impact Target = jobs and sales Activity = ‘Corporate Responsibility’ support environmental policy, legal compliance Impact = little or no efficiency savings

  12. If Metrics = Saved £, CO2, materials, water If Metrics = Created Jobs & Sales • Eco design of products and packaging • On site facilitation / change management • On site technical advice • Monitoring & measurement • Research, options analysis • Audit / review of practices • Opportunity identification & quantification • Sustainable procurement • Business continuity / risk • Legal compliance • Environmental policies • Customer demands

  13. Market Failure – NW Business Survey • Only 26% have heard the term resource efficiency • 80% think resource efficiency is important to their business • Just 33% have taken action to increase their resource efficiency • ~30% turned off lights, changed bulbs, increased recycling • ~75% anticipate no return on investment • Only 20% plan future improvements in resource efficiency • 71% have not looked for support • Common perception is that new equipment & capital investment is always necessary… Efficiency is under-rated

  14. Data Analysis • Challenging perceptions: • ~75% of NW businesses think that resource efficiency improvements will deliver no return on investment • Analysing the capital cost associated with improvement actions • Annual cost savings Achieved = £27m • 58% (£13.4m) achieved with no capital cost • 72% of opportunities (1844/2576)

  15. Types of market failure • Common property • Public goods • Externalities (positive and negative) • Imperfect and asymmetric information • Increasing returns • Market power • …Complex issues often require complex solutions.

  17. Perceptions • Not relevant • Threat not opportunity • Resource efficiency = utility management • Need to invest in equipment to save energy • Investment will not reduce costs • Time consuming

  18. Challenging perceptions on Efficiency • £100 million annual savings identified • £27 million of these are achieved • 92% are achieved through a reduction in resource use • 72% of opportunities achieved with no capital cost • 58% of cost savings achieved with no capital cost • Of those achieved with capital cost… • 57% have payback period less than 1 year • 75% have payback period less than 2 years
