Optimize energy consumption and lower costs
To meet sustainability goals and drive cost reductions through decreased energy usage, many enterprises are looking to align their sustainability strategy with day-to-day operational metrics. But they lack the ability to accurately assess and measure energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy efficiency, and they are not able to detect areas for improvement.
● 60% of organizations will implement sustainability-related considerations by 2023, and 95% of those organizations will hire services partners to accomplish these tasks.[1]
● 80% of companies state that driving cost reductions and increasing growth are fueling their investment in sustainability.[2]
