Energy Seminar: Energy and the Bottom Line - Tracking and Managing Energy Costs to a Better Advantage
http://energycostsseminar.eventbrite.com
Energy costs have a major impact on a company's bottom line. How are these costs tracked and managed in the financial planning process? What tools do executives (mainly in Operations, Real Estate, and Sustainability roles) use in their decision making process? How is responsibility for energy cost management distribution in the organization? How do functional organizations interact with one another to manage energy costs?
Corporate leaders with energy management responsibility will discuss how they have implemented tracking systems within their organizations. Examples of cost savings achieved and best practices/tools will be shared, with a focus on the use of technology and collaboration in managing energy costs. Speakers will also share future plans for monitoring and improving this complex area of their financial planning.
- Gain an understanding of current practices
- Learn how corporate leaders (and eventually CFOs) will use technology in the future to enhance the management of energy costs incorporated within the overall financial planning process
- See examples of how management of this important cost component can improve a company's bottom line and provide a competitive advantage.
