Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency for Business Webinar
Hosted by the International Energy Agency
Moderation: Fabian Voswinkel
Energy efficiency investments often pay back quickly through lower energy bills, improving margins and reducing exposure to energy price volatility. But for businesses, they bring many additional benefits beyond energy savings.
For example, energy efficiency can improve productivity, reduce maintenance costs and lower the need for input materials. Efficient and electrified equipment operates more reliably and with less stress, leading to greater stability, less downtime and fewer production defects. Strong sustainability performance can enhance brand reputation, while improved indoor working conditions can significantly benefit worker health, well-being and productivity.
The aim of the IEA’s work on the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency for Business is to make the systematic capture of these benefits in investment decisions common practice. Accurately reflecting the full value of energy efficiency is crucial to achieving this.
This webinar builds on the IEA’s recent report, The Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency for Business. It showcases several approaches that can help turn these opportunities into practice and enable businesses to make the most of the wide range of benefits that energy efficiency can bring to their operations. Finally, we will explore a key question: what is the missing piece? What is needed for the multiple benefits of energy efficiency to become mainstream in business decision making?
