This comprehensive report from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change looks at the energy efficiency practices of leading companies and offers a 12-step program to help any organization conserve energy, reduce emissions, and save money.

Key sections of the report include:

• The findings of the Pew Center’s 65-question energy efficiency survey, which was distributed to nearly 100 companies to gather quantitative data and discover trends in corporate energy efficiency;
• The Seven Habits of highly efficient companies, which distills the core elements of an exemplary corporate energy efficiency strategy into a set of core practices and principles;
• Best practices in internal operations, supply chain, and products and services, which focuses more specifically on techniques, tools, and other issues that have proven to be salient among the best energy efficiency strategies; and
• Six in-depth case studies of the energy efficiency efforts of Dow Chemical Company, United Technologies Corporation, IBM, Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufacturing North America, Inc., PepsiCo and Best Buy.

The findings of the report will be reviewed in depth at the Pew Center’s upcoming Energy Efficiency Conference, held April 6-7, 2010, in Chicago.
