Good for your business, good for the planet Sustainability strategies to build a more resilient world

whitePaper | April 23, 2022

Our growing climate crisis demands that we conserve energy and water, reduce waste, and find ways to protect our ecosystems. But the most urgent challenge facing us globally may be to reduce our carbon emissions. And while governments and businesses across the globe are racing to set ambitious targets on a path to a net zero carbon future, we can’t reach net zero if we don’t actually know where we are. We need a common foundation to ensure that Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are measured in an accurate, consistent, and reliable way. Without global standards, it will be difficult for organizations to develop effective roadmaps to reduce their emissions without wasting time and money—and it will be difficult to know if our collective actions are making a difference

However, concrete also has its disadvantages. The cement contained in concrete consumes a lot of energy during its production process and emits large amounts of CO2. This, combined with the enormous demand for concrete and the simultaneous low recycling rate, makes concrete less-than-friendly for the environment.

Electric Utility Regulatory Frameworks and Financial Incentives

whitePaper | August 8, 2022

Electric utility regulatory frameworks and financial incentives can address barriers to energy efficiency, renewable energy, and distributed energy resources (DERs) that are inherent in traditional utility regulatory models. Legislatures and electric utility regulators (often called public utility commissions) in many states are refining or replacing traditional utility financial policies to encourage utility actions and programs aligned with state policy goals. These states are adopting regulatory frameworks and financial incentives including revenue decoupling, multi-year rate plans (MYRPs), performance-based regulation (PBR), and performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs).
