80% of American consumers consider sustainability when making some purchases, while 70% say they would change their shopping habits if they discovered that a store or brand wasn't operating sustainably. Additionally, as energy costs soar across the U.S. and climate change exacerbates environmental problems, energy efficiency is more important than ever. However, buying and installing new equipment and sustainability technologies takes money and time, which most businesses simply can’t afford to lose. That’s why many are choosing to work with a sustainability and energy management partner. Doing so helps them get energy and water savings, reduce waste, and lower their carbon footprint without having to invest in new technology and equipment themselves.
