ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America’s leading management consultant firms specializing in energy, has released a new report highlighting four key factors that make up a successful corporate renewable energy program. This report identifies opportunities to help transform complex energy problems into achievable, sustainable solutions.
The private sector is increasingly turning to renewable energy to achieve corporate sustainability goals. Companies are pursuing a diverse range of approaches to achieve these goals, including a growing trend toward corporate renewable power purchase agreements. ScottMadden has identified four key factors that make up a successful corporate renewable energy program:
- A plan that aligns a company’s renewable goal and strategy with its business strategies
- Consistent execution and attention to all facets of the renewable strategy
- Pre-determined reporting metrics
- Internal and external integration throughout business operations
These four factors create the underlying framework that supports corporate clean energy goals and the various approaches to achieve them. The program will be iterative, and companies should refine each factor throughout the process.
“Corporate sustainably strategies hold a prominent position in today’s businesses. As more companies depend on corporate renewable energy programs to help achieve their sustainability goals, successful implementation of these programs is crucial,” explains Chris Vlahoplus, partner and clean tech & sustainability practice leader at ScottMadden and report co-author.
“A corporate renewable energy program should not be a separate add-on program, but it should be integrated into the overall business vision to allow maximum cost and environmental benefit,” adds Theresa Perry, senior associate at ScottMadden and report co-author.
