The HP focus on energy and sustainability management builds on a long legacy of innovation and internal environmental leadership.
For decades, we have produced a steady stream of technical advances that make IT hardware and data centers operate more efficiently. Today, working with best-in-class partners, we extend our reach to encompass building and enterprise optimization.
2. The productivity imperative
The enterprise is getting squeezed.
Energy is everywhere—but it’s hidden from view.
Do you know where energy most affects your business?
New challenges for the enterprise
As the world’s population continues to grow and standards of living
rise, competition for energy and other resources is increasing. This
global reality is driving up their prices and putting added pressures
on your enterprise.
To control costs, you need to carefully manage the energy and other
valuable natural resources that enable your business—bringing
employees to your office and your products to customers and making
your offices and data centers hum.
It’s no easy task to manage these resources. While they flow through
your entire enterprise, these resources are largely hidden from view.
And you can’t manage what you can’t measure.
An enterprise approach to energy and sustainability management
helps you gain control over your use of energy, water, and other
resources. This is the HP approach. With our broad HP Energy
and Sustainability Management offering, we help you create and
implement an enterprise strategy that spans buildings, IT, supply
chain, and workforce.

The enterprise opportunity
Many forward-looking enterprises are realizing the gains that stem
from energy and sustainability management efforts. Typically,
however, these gains are realized within the walls of individual
departments or organizations, rather than across the enterprise.
Facilities staff focuses on more efficient approaches to lighting,
heating, and cooling. Supply chain optimizes transportation
modes and distribution points. Other organizations look for ways
to streamline. While these efforts are productive, they are only
the beginning. Much greater opportunities are possible from an
enterprise-wide approach to energy and sustainability management.
When all areas of your business share common goals and a
holistic perspective, your enterprise is poised to capture these
larger opportunities. This is where HP Energy and Sustainability
Management Solutions deliver their greatest value—at the
enterprise level.
Compelling business benefits
How could you benefit from an enterprise-wide sustainability
approach that is integrated with your overall business strategy?
Consider these gains:
• Identify cross-organization investment opportunities using
savings from efficiency to fund projects.
• Drive culture change by making energy use visible to your
managers and staff.
• Create business models to deliver value to customers in new ways.
• Access capital and tax credit capacity and identify subsidies
and rebates.
3. The enterprise opportunity
Gains in asset classes are limited. Greater value comes from common goals,
complementary initiatives, and an enterprise-wide view and approach.

How HP helps
A comprehensive portfolio of services
To put energy and sustainability management in place at an
enterprise level, you need the right strategy, comprehensive
implementation capabilities, and a process to catalyze cultural
change. HP understands the challenges that come with these
needs, and our approach can help you overcome them.
Drawing on our comprehensive portfolio of services, we guide
you through all the stages of energy and sustainability
management—from assessing your needs and planning your
approach to transforming your enterprise and then validating
and optimizing the results.
The services that support each of these steps add up to an enterprise
strategy that helps you optimize costs, reduce waste, manage risk, and
increase visibility—gains that collectively increase business value.
Assess: Discover your options and establish a baseline.
In the Assess phase, HP helps you articulate
your organization’s strategy and goals
for energy and resource productivity. This
is achieved through a highly interactive
half-day workshop for cross-functional
senior executives.
The Assess phase may also include implementation of
industry-leading, cloud-based enterprise energy and
sustainability management software. This software enables
rigorous and auditable energy and carbon data capture and
analysis, incorporating energy usage in buildings, IT, travel,
materials, and parts, as well as water and waste management.
Plan: Create a roadmap for short-term wins and long-term success.
In the Plan phase, HP takes the decisions made
in the Assess phase and turns them into a
roadmap for action. This roadmap has two
key elements.
• In the short term, it focuses on quick wins
for reducing energy use and spending.
• In the longer-term, it focuses on identifying
strategic projects and creating an analytical
framework to help you decide when, where,
and how to put those plans in place.
Transform: Implement your vision. Realize gains throughout
the enterprise.
In the Transform phase, HP puts your roadmap
into action to drive gains throughout the
enterprise. Actions in this phase can include:
• Analyzing energy and water efficiency
in buildings
• Implementing resource monitoring and
conservation measures
• Conducting tradeoff analysis of potential upgrades to
critical facilities
• Obtaining energy-efficiency certifications for critical facilities
• Monitoring and reducing the greenhouse gas impact from IT
Optimize: Leverage new insights.
Communicate results.
In this phase, you leverage the new visibility
into your enterprise-wide resource usage
to optimize your use of resources and to
communicate the results of your efforts.
Specifically, HP can help you comprehensively
report on energy and water use and greenhouse gas emissions and
monitor in near real time your energy and water usage.
