Research Overview
Schneider Electric™ partnered with GreenBiz Research to conduct a survey of corporate energy and sustainability programs. The study set out to answer questions, such as:
- How are companies preparing for a decarbonized, decentralized and digitized energy future?
- Are companies integrating how they buy and use energy with sustainability initiatives?
- What energy and sustainability projects are companies doing today and in the near future?
- What are the barriers to achieving energy and sustainability goals?
The findings are based on responses to an online survey completed by 236 energy and sustainability professionals representing diverse industries and companies — with $100 million to $10 billion or more in annual revenue. (Sixty percent of organizations were at or above $1 billion in revenue). Respondents ranged from individual contributors to C-suite/ board members: 58 percent identified as contributors or managers, and 41 percent occupy director, vice president or top-tier leadership roles. Sixty-three percent of participants are located in North America, 27 percent in Europe, and 10 percent in Asia-Pacific or other parts of the globe.
