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, and corporate-wide involvement. Your sustainability plan will continually evolve as energy technologies advance, carbon mitigation mandates progress, your business grows, and energy needs change. 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.
Four Steps To Developing Your Sustainability Blueprint
- Decode Your Energy Data – Understanding your energy usage by measuring, monitoring and analyzing your organization’s data.
- Determine Your Sustainability Goals – Establish short and long-term goals, timing, funding, and responsibilities for addressing environmental, economic and societal goals.
- Establish Internal Governance & Accountability – Develop internal controls, gain stakeholder buy-in, communicate sustainability strategies and plans including assignments, roles and responsibilities.
- Track, Analyze and Report Growth & Advancements – Set benchmarks, analyze your data and progress, and deliver reporting for transparency and critical adjustments for meeting your sustainability goals.
