Businesses across every industry require energy for their day-to-day operations. Whether it be to run an air conditioning system or power an entire assembly line, businesses devote significant funds to energy expenditure and, at the same time, increase their carbon footprint. While this might not have been of major concern in the past, the global threat of climate change and the proliferation of environmental issues is triggering a transformation of the energy landscape, resulting in an increasing focus on sustainability.
While one positive outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic was an 8% reduction in global carbon dioxide emissions, this is likely only temporary. Industry experts have expressed valid fears that rebound emissions in a post-COVID-19 world will quickly obliterate all the gains accrued when many people stayed home, unless there is significant investment and emphasis on energy efficiency, clean energy, and sustainability. And it’s not just these experts that are concerned about this worrying trend – 57% of consumers have expressed that they would change their purchasing habits in order to reduce negative environmental impact.
