Sustainable energy for all: the business opportunity [1]

The UN Global Compact and Accenture have released 19 sectoral reports within the theme of "Sustainable Energy for All: The Business Opportunity." The reports identify priority activities and challenges for businesses to support the UN Secretary-General’s Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative. The reports are based on research and interviews with more than 70 companies and cover 19 industries, including: automotive; chemicals; construction; consumer packaged goods; financial services and insurance; food and agriculture; forest products; health care; industrial manufacturing; information and communications technology; metals and mining; oil and gas; pharmaceuticals and biotechnology; professional services; renewable energy; retail; transportation and logistics; travel and leisure; and utilities. Key priority areas for action identified in the reports include: improving energy efficiency in operations, products and services; increasing the use of renewable energy; reusing waste streams; and increasing in stakeholder engagement and advocacy. The reports also point to ways for business to create value from their support of the Sustainable Energy for All initiative, such as by reducing costs, mitigating risks, generating new revenue, and enhancing brand reputation.
