Schneider Electric Launches Rethink Energy Initiative - Seite 2

David Joffe, Team Leader at the UK Committee on Climate Change

"How do you encourage people to change their behaviour? 1) give people enough information to make decisions, 2) make it a desirable (almost competitive) thing to do, 3) enable people to take action"

"Much of the problem with energy efficiency is measurement, you need to know how the measures you have put in place are performing."

James Diggle, Head of Energy & Climate Change, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)

"There is a huge appetite for change from businesses, not just driven by reputation, but also by future business stability."

"Businesses can help consumers make the changes they need to be more sustainable through new products and services."

"Businesses can also change the way they operate, setting carbon reduction and sustainability targets and prioritising how they use their energy."

"Businesses must give consumers the opportunity to change culturally in terms of how they address sustainability."

"Businesses need to change the way they operate, and energy management needs to be much higher up the agenda."

Ben Golding, Director, Energy Efficiency and Local, Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy

"We've always needed to get to net zero. The question has always been when, not if."

"We need an investment of £22/23 billion in business energy efficiency by 2030 to help deliver climate change. If we deliver that, we could wipe £6 billion off business energy costs in 2030."

"UK emissions have already fallen by 40 percent since 1990, while the economy has grown by over 70 per cent.  We've accepted the challenge to act on climate change. The government can help to make it easier and simpler for UK businesses to change, building on successes, for example, in making renewables and electric vehicles cheaper."

"UK emissions have already fallen by 40 percent since 2014.  It will get better, and we've accepted the challenge to act on climate change. The government can help to make it easier and simpler for UK businesses to change for example, by making renewables and electric vehicles cheaper."
