Challenging organizations to profit from decarbonization
If you’re externalizing climate risks, you’re also externalizing climate opportunities.
Approximately 75% of carbon emissions is due to energy consumption.
Energy is both a financial cost as well as an environmental liability.
Therefore, we can use energy as a intermediary between financial goals and environmental impact.
Energy-as-Strategy
Systematizing Random Acts of Greenness into a Metrics-Driven Strategy
Energy-as-Strategy is a decision-making framework that embeds environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators into corporate strategy. Examining energy, water, waste and other resources often reveals an underappreciated utilities supply chain that flows through an organization. Much like a traditional management consultants who analyze the financial paper trail, we analyze the fingerprints of energy to reveal business process optimizations that would otherwise remain hidden.
Here’s how
The Metric: The Energy Statements
Our energy statements informs decision makers how their assets perform regarding climate impacts.
They unify and harmonize reporting across an organization. They also support decisions that are made at varying scales, frequencies and duration, and then normalizes them against impact.

The Methodology: The Energy Strategy Maturity Cycle(TM)
The five steps of the Energy Strategy Maturity Cycle gives executives a roadmap of their sustainability journey. It gives a pathway of continuous improvement and creates a governance framework to monitor progress. Utilizing the metrics of the Energy Statements, firms are able to accelerate their ability to systematize random acts of greenness into a metrics-driven strategy.
