SUSTAINABILITY
64
“ Regardless of the sector , if you can truly understand how your business operates from an energy , waste , water and carbon perspective , these key drivers of cost generation can become revenue income opportunities ”
— Paul Crewe , CSO , Anthesis
he argues . “ For example , energy , along with wages , is often the highest controllable cost , so with the rising cost of carbon taxation on energy it ’ s an area we can help businesses both mitigate against and create revenue streams through the deployment of renewable energy and storage . The CFOs of companies embracing sustainability are understanding it does have a critical commercial aspect to stay optimised and efficient with a positive impact on the bottom line .”
What advice would he give companies eager to achieve this type of positive impact on their sustainability journey ? “ Regardless of the sector , if you can truly understand how your business operates from an energy , waste , water and carbon perspective , these key drivers of cost generation can become revenue income opportunities . Working with an organisation like Anthesis can help pinpoint demonstrable gains , programs of investment and positive behaviour change to drive those in real time ,”
