Global Trends
Pressures abound in today’s world for businesses, cities, and governments.
With the ever-changing landscape, strategy needs to be comprehensive
but flexible, pragmatic but visionary, realistic in dealing with present
needs but imaginative enough to anticipate tomorrow’s challenges.
It needs to anticipate energy demands, leverage supply opportunities,
and create a sustainable path forward. And when it comes to energy
and sustainability strategies, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Challenges include:
Demand for Transparency
Internal and external stakeholders in every industry are now demanding more
transparency in how companies are driving sustainability initiatives. How will
you satisfy stakeholders and bring transparency to your organization?
Reporting and Metric Overload
There are more than 50 global reporting programs, and over 100 CSR and
environmental metrics. How will you decide which metrics to report and who
to report them to?
Small Teams, Limited Bandwidth
Organizations around the world are being asked to meet stricter resource
consumption targets, using smaller teams than ever. How can your lean
team meet these big challenges?
Data Everywhere
Energy and sustainability big data is growing but not harnessed. Less than
1 percent of data is used, and 66 percent of data is stored in disparate
systems.* How can your team collect and actually extract meaning from all

Your Challenges:
Obstacles to Your Energy & Sustainability Goals
Nearly every organization that seeks to implement an energy and sustainability strategy faces challenges.
Today’s businesses are global, with facilities, employees, and data spread all over the world. Without the
right tools, it can be difficult to share information, and even harder to get an enterprise view of all that data.
Energy and sustainability programs involve people from all over the organization. And each of these teams
needs to pull their version of data from one accurate data source to really drive consensus and efficiency.
On top of this, bandwidth is limited, and energy cost volatility can be difficult to understand and track.
