Who is responsible for managing energy efficiency?
How much energy is used?
What activities lead to consumption of energy? How can you improve your energy efficiency?
Have you identified what areas need to be improved or changed?
How much energy could you save in the long term?
What financial impact would saving energy have?

To make change happen

Build a policy that incorporates the processes and practices you need to improve energy efficiency across the business. This will create a mechanism to turn energy efficiency into a key performance indicator
Get buy in from senior management – does it really understand the benefits of making this change?
Communicate with staff – involve them from the outset, get their feedback and suggestions for improving energy efficiency. The most successful change happens when everyone in the company is onboard
Establish clear minimum reduction targets so you have something to measure against
Establish reliable ways of measuring consumption and assess on regular bases – energy consumption can fluctuate seasonally depending on weather and productivity
Establish objectives, implement, monitor and measure and continually improve
