I am Harkeeret (Harqs) Singh - I have gained experience leading strategy and transformation across different business functions within global multi billion dollar revenue organisations. 

My focus is thought leadership in the energy efficiency and sustainability space.

Discussions will focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, the “Green” agenda, cost improvement, legislation and associated initiatives across the globe.  Content can be found in the Articles & Concepts section.

Why is this important to businesses?  the following list a number of reasons why this is important for global businesses;

1. 1.Revenue Protection/Generation -  Leaders in this space can now directly attribute revenue to their sustainability attributes and strategy.  Customers are now regularly requesting details on the sustainability credentials of their suppliers and the solutions they purchase. 
   

2. 2.Cost Reduction - Eliminating inefficiencies and adopting these initiatives enable the business to have a lower cost base.
   

3. 3.Brand Improvement - Strong CSR and sustainability attributes afford positive brand awareness and are aligned with revenue protection/generation.
   

4. 4.Mitigation against future cost increases - Energy costs are likely to increase across the globe due to underinvestment in power infrastructure and impending legislation. 
   

5. 5.Legislation/Regulation - a number of different types of legislations are being developed across the globe which businesses will need to adhere to (some mandatory others voluntary for now) - e.g. Carbon Taxes, Cap and Trade programmes, etc.
   

6. 6.Environmental Benefits - of course we should not forget there are also (some say most importantly) the environmental benefits - contributing to the reduction of carbon to avert the worst impacts of climate change across the globe.
   

The point outlined have a direct impact on profitability for a company.  Many of these area’s will be expanded on with further detail.

The fundamentals of the initiatives are industry and location agnostic.  Although local adaptation maybe required for full effect across different cultures, geographies and business models.
