ITP Webcast - From Shop Floor to Top Floor: Best Business Practices in Energy Efficiency

Department of Energy - On Thursday, April 1, 2010, from 2:00–3:00 p.m. Eastern time Andre de Fontaine, a Markets and Business Strategy Fellow at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, will deliver a Webcast on the findings from the Center’s forthcoming report, “From Shop Floor to Top Floor: Best Business Practices in Energy Efficiency.” The report describes leading corporate energy efficiency programs, identifies key lessons learned, and details energy efficiency strategy development and implementation through six in-depth case studies of exemplary corporate programs. The report’s findings stem from direct interaction with leading corporations from a cross-section of industries.

The Webcast will give an overview of the motivations driving businesses to adopt more aggressive energy efficiency strategies, and discuss common barriers to implementing organization-wide efficiency initiatives. Insights from the case studies included in the report—which cover efficiency programs at Dow Chemical, United Technologies, IBM, Toyota, PepsiCo, and Best Buy—will also be shared.
