The field of energy and emissions management is a rapidly developing practice. But even now, best practices are emerging that could save your organization money and put you on the path for long term sustainable growth.
The topic of energy management is front-of-mind for eco-friendly and cost-conscious organizations. The global demand for electricity and fuel drives the increasing volume of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This panel will discuss real examples of how to prioritize GHG abatement activities, collaborate with your peers to reduce energy consumed in operations, and assess the tradeoffs that are inevitable when deciding which sustainable programs to invest in.
This is the second in a three-part Webcast series focused on sustainability management.
