Employ Energy Company Logic

In the overall scheme of things CA uses enough energy that it is imperative that CA have an overall energy strategy. As stated in a publication by Deloitte “Every company is an energy company. This might come as a surprise to many of them. But a decade from now, a company without an “energy and sustainability” department could be as unusual as one without a human resources department. Either that, or it might be out of business.”

While CA is not in the business of directly producing energy, it is in the business of conserving energy, reducing carbon dioxide and other particulate emissions. CA is working to improve processes that use energy so that less energy will be used in the future.

The video in this post provides a brief description of how CA will be thinking in terms of being an energy company.
CA will also address energy issues by asking all team members to find ways of being more energy efficient and to generate new and innovative ways that CA can do more with less in terms of energy.



Primary Focus Points:

• Reducing the use of fossil based fuels
• Experimenting and researching the use of renewable energy sources for multi-purpose uses
• Develop efficiencies through supply chain processes using vendors that are environmentally conscious
• Utilize appropriate open space areas for the generation of renewable energy supplies
• Retrofit CA owned buildings with energy efficient equipment and strive for LEED certification whenever feasible and affordable
