Commitment 2.2.1 - Resource management: energy efficiency

We apply measures to efficiently manage resources such as water and energy, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and support the integration of circular economy principles 

Good practices

Fulfilling the Commitment

Some examples of good practice are listed below. You can contribute specific examples by clicking the ‘Share my case study’ button.


> Creating new business models to deliver energy efficiency technologies including reducing the energy requirements of products and services, or providing products and services that help customers to improve energy efficiency or reduce energy requirements


> Tracking and reporting energy usage, reduction and intensity over time


> Monitoring and reporting on the amount of energy produced, purchased and consumed, according to source (this holds both for direct operations and in the supply chain); setting an internal price on carbon to redirect investments towards renewable energy sources and technologies


> Working with suppliers to reduce energy consumption and promoting energy efficiency; building a more comprehensive picture of energy consumption in the supply chain by assessing Scope 3 GHG emissions and developing a strategy on Scope 3 GHG emission reduction


> Investing in and promoting initiatives on renewable energy and integrating these into business strategy; setting targets to increase own share of renewable energy consumption and, if applicable, production throughout operations; these could be achieved by investing in own renewable energy installations, working with energy providers and other companies to scale-up both supply and demand of renewable energy and developing district energy systems with governments/communities


> Working with peers and relevant stakeholders on setting energy efficiency standards at an industry level to facilitate structural global change; adopting cost-effective standards of technologies in building and industry, and sharing these best practices.

Legal frameworks and sustainability programs

Legal/regulatory frameworks and sustainability tools/programs

A non-exhaustive list of initiatives is set out below, aiming to provide a direction for companies eager to go further on this topic:

  

Follow the guidance of ISO 26000 (Social responsibility) or fulfil the requirements with guidance for use of ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental management systems)


Follow the guidelines and, eventually report through:

> EcoVadis – [CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) rating agency],

> Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) – Category: Environment, 

> UN Global Compact (UNGC), 

> the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), 

> Others.
