Understand key sustainability policies and regulations
As governments and businesses sharpen their focus on sustainability, companies like yours need to know what's required to comply with evolving local and federal policies. This can be challenging, as each region has its own set of requirements ranging from simple benchmarking reports to setting carbon emissions targets.
In New York, for example, there are several Local Laws designed to drive energy reduction; the aggregate of these laws makes up one of the most stringent programs in the country. There's also the Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance in Boston, Washington D.C.'s Building Energy Performance Standards, and recently passed Senate Bills 253 and 261 in California. These are just a few examples of the measures cities and states are implementing today.
Set your business up for success
Complying with ever-evolving regulatory policies is no easy feat, but it's essential for your business. It can help you avoid costly penalties. Plus, it can enhance the value of your brand and potentially increase your revenue as more consumers and investors prioritize companies that are committed to environmental stewardship.
To achieve this ambitious goal, we recommend creating a holistic strategy that aligns your sustainability objectives with industry standards. Consider conducting an annual energy audit to identify efficiency improvements and cost savings. Finally, review your building's year-over-year performance and compare it to others using the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool.
Work with an experienced partner
Whether you are just starting your sustainability journey or looking to optimize your existing efforts, working with a trusted partner could also benefit your business. Look for one with deep insight into these complex programs and a proven record of hitting timelines and goals.
At NRG, we help customers across the country:
Strategically chart their course toward a more sustainable future
