Maximizing the Green in your Business

One of the leading purchasers of renewable energy credits in U.S. is scaling back the practice. Instead of purchasing renewable energy PepsiCo has decided instead to invest the money into on-site renewable energy projects.

Technology has changed, incentives are developing and it is making more sense for companies to invest in on-site renewable energy projects. Companies are taking advantage of solar and wind to capture the once "unused" energy source. They are investing in windmills or installing solar panels on their roofs to offset their energy usage. These efforts are viewed as sustainability solutions and not just "buying" sustainability.  

Begin with an energy audit, determine how much energy you need then begin to look for on-site solutions to off-set the need. Reduce the amount of energy needed or begin to invest in renewable on-site solutions. Review all the incentives available and make on-site renewable energy part of your sustainable business strategy.
