- Your energy management policy should contain a statement of commitment from senior management.
- Find out about your stakeholders - are they interested in your organisation's environmental performance.
- The whole organisation has to be seen to be taking the energy management programme seriously in order for it to be effective.
- Make someone responsible for energy in the workplace. This should be a senior manager or a member of staff supported by senior management.
- Provide senior management with an understanding of the benefits that are possible through implementing a company energy strategy.
- Draw up an action plan containing no-cost and low-cost measures that will accrue immediate savings and will help convince management of the longer-term benefits. (See our Action Plan Tool.)
