Energy leadership isn't just about saving money—though two-fifths of companies investing in advanced energy solutions have seen significantly reduced energy costs. Energy leaders are gaining a competitive edge by investing in distributed energy solutions.

We surveyed over 1,000 energy decision makers to analyse their energy performance. We found that the leaders were:

More than twice as likely to be a leading brand in their market
Two and a half times as likely to have strong financials
Nearly three times as likely to be prepared to deal with risks

We found that the leaders—those not just doing well now, but also best positioned to cope with future challenges—excelled at two factors:

Vision: They had a clear view of how they can improve their management of energy and are able to anticipate their future energy demands.
Execution: They were also good at implementing good energy practices, minimising the business risk of energy and making the most of energy efficiency opportunities.

We grouped companies into four bands—from least to most advanced—based on their scores.

If you answer a few more questions we'll be able to show you how you're doing.
