"Organizations are facing growing pressure to reduce their energy costs and exposure to cost fluctuations. At the same time, they are expected to reduce the environmental impact of their energy consumption. These goals seem like they may conflict, but they can be jointly addressed through a balanced blend of investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and carbon offsets," said Patrick Costello, a report author. Co-author Roshni Rathi added, "It's not easy for decision-makers to wade through all of the noise out there about individual green energy investment options. We prepared this report to help anyone who needs to quickly get up to speed on best practices in this space and engage in an informed discussion about a fully integrated green energy strategy."
