Make the SHIFT Towards a Better Environment for All
Monitoring your energy use is an excellent way to identify potential energy savings and cost savings for your business. And if you have all that data, what else can you use it for? Here’s what environmental consultancy SHIFT Environment say on the matter:
“Data is getting more and more important. When we have good data we can transform that into excellent environmental reports. After all, you can only manage what you measure. And once you have excellent reports you can do lots more things.”
Clients use SHIFT Environment reports for:
Effective environmental strategy development – You need to know where you are as well as where you’re going.
Compliance – Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) and Energy Savings Opportunities Scheme (ESOS).
ESG reports for investors – The international banking community is looking for environmental credentials from the organisations they invest in. There may come a time soon where businesses can’t get investment without eco-credentials.
Increased profits – As well as direct savings on an organisations’ energy costs, making environmental improvements can lead to lots of other opportunities to increase profits. These can range from improved staff retention to selling more products and services.

SHIFT’s vision is to use data to pave the way to a utopian future. Imagine warm buildings that are inexpensive to run, surrounded by luscious biodiverse greenery and resilient to the adverse effects of climate change. The buildings are made from responsibly sourced materials and any waste is reduced and dealt with sustainably. Everyone in these buildings will enjoy being inside and outside and be safe in the knowledge that they are making their contribution to a sustainable world.
