Why is the time to act now?
Our unique approach
At Project One, we help our customers to design and implement a systematic approach to becoming more sustainable. Whilst investment in new technology clearly plays a significant part in sustainability transformation, behavioural change is just as important. Before we get to alternative suppliers, we first need to bare down on current consumption and demand. Once we have that under control then we can genuinely focus on new and innovative ways to supply that demand.
The reality is that although many organisations will have made some moves to improve their approach to the environment and sustainability aspects of their operations, they may still lack the maturity to say they are at a point where these areas are addressed to the satisfaction of stakeholders such as investors, employees, customers and regulators.
Without this maturity, investors will look elsewhere, and you will fail to attract and retain employees and customers. Successful organisations will increasingly be judged not just on their operational performance but also their approach and success in managing these issues and risks. Most, if not all, decisions in an organisation will need to be seen through a climate change and sustainability lens, as well as the return on investment or mitigation of risk.
So how do we drive down consumption?
Detailed data capture to understand your baseload Targeted implementation of energy saving technologies Education and training of your people And of course, senior sponsorship and commitment to the cause. To do any of the above in isolation will deliver something; but to do all four in balance, will deliver a truly optimised energy management solution. Whilst others are jumping straight to solutions, we monitor what’s happening, analyse behaviours and address the root causes. This approach is required at every level if we are to achieve 2050 end-state ambitions and applies to individual companies, national bodies and world leaders.
If you don’t have a strategy and plan:
Your investors will invest elsewhere in those that do You may not be compliant to new regulation Your employee proposition will be affected You will lose market share and credibility.
At Project One, our purpose is to make a real difference for our customers, and the lives of their customers. Help your business find its purpose and align your ESG and NZC strategies to the real work your people are doing. Purpose-driven organisations have been shown to reap the benefits and out-shine the competition.
In a recent study, Deloitte evidenced that a 10% increase in employees’ connection with their organisation’s purpose led to a 4% improvement in profitability. Furthermore, purpose driven companies experience 25% higher customer loyalty than non-purpose driven companies, according to Bain & Co. And it’s not just about the bottom line, purpose-led companies have experienced higher employee engagement, lower staff turnover, increased referrals and talent attraction.
