Presentation Overview
▪ Promoting and advancing the environmental and social mission of a company is one of the best ways to realize these opportunities and drastically reduce energy consumption
▪ The Business Sustainability Challenge is a publicly funded program in CT that provides a strategic framework for these objectives and offers the technical and financial resources to accomplish them
![Page 5: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Energy Efficiency Potential ▪ By 2050, there is the potential to reduce the
building sector’s primary energy use by 38-69% depending on the design choices
▪ This represents an investment opportunity with ~24% annual return on a $500 billion investment for $1.9 trillion in present value

Primary Energy Use by Sector 2010
![Page 7: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Energy Efficiency Potential ▪ On average, 1 kWh of energy efficiency costs
only 30-50% of supplying 1 kWh of energy ▪ Savings can be multiplied by the inverse of the
company’s profit margin to calculate the new sales required to generate the same value
![Page 8: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So Why Aren’t We Doing It? ▪ Barriers are in the “how” not the “what” ▪ Even if they know about the theoretical
opportunity, many people lack the technical and financial capacity to accomplish change
▪ “Systems Benefit Charges” fund residential, commercial, and industrial energy efficiency programs that provide technical and financial assistance in many states
![Page 9: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Overcoming Barriers ▪ In Connecticut, we now have EnergizeCT
bringing together the efforts of the Energy Efficiency Fund, the Connecticut Green Bank and the utilities – United Illuminating and Northeast Utilities.
▪ Connecticut ratepayers are funding it to: ▪ Reduce air pollutants and greenhouse gases ▪ Save money ▪ Create jobs ▪ Reduce the need for new energy generation capacity
![Page 10: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Motivation ▪ Extrinsic: carrot and stick ▪ Intrinsic: ▪ Autonomy: the desire to direct our own lives ▪ Mastery: the urge to get better and better at something
that matters ▪ Purpose: the yearning to do what we do in the service
of something larger than ourselves ▪ Sustainability offers the opportunity for
employees to access all three of these areas
![Page 11: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Productivity
▪ Productivity = ability * motivation ▪ Ability is a function of recruitment ▪ Motivation is a function of engagement
▪ McKinsey research tells us that high performing employees can generate up to 67% more revenues than average employees
![Page 12: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Absenteeism v Presenteeism
▪ Absenteeism: missing work costs ▪ US: $84 billion ▪ UK: £8.4 billion
▪ Presenteeism: being on the job and underperforming due to physical or mental illness, stress, or disengagement costs ▪ US: $260 billion ▪ UK: £15.1 billion
![Page 13: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Productivity and Innovation
▪ Straight line correlation between % engaged employees and % of employees believing that their company is pursuing worthwhile environmental and social activities 87% of employees who volunteered with their
companies reported an improved perception of their employer - 82% felt more committed to the organization
Employees with weak relations miss an average of 5.9 days per year while strong relations miss 3.7 days per year
![Page 14: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Potential Business Benefits ▪ Companies with engaged employees grew profits
three times faster than competitors ▪ Highly engaged organizations have 87% less
staff turnover and 20% better performance than average
▪ 59% of engaged employees say their job brings out their most creative ideas vs. 3% of disengaged employees
![Page 15: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Productivity and Green Building ▪ Productivity gains from working in efficient or
green buildings: – Estimates vary, but 6-16% is middle of the range – In an typical office, people cost 100 times more than
energy, so these increases are worth 6-16 times as much as eliminating the entire energy bill
▪ How do you already talk with clients about the value of green buildings and employee behavior?
![Page 16: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Behavior and Engagement Basics ▪ Make sustainability a practice that you do “with”
the whole company, rather than “to” them ▪ Behavioral change needs to address the barriers
to adopting new changes and the reasons why people exhibit their current behavior (lack of information is rarely the reason)
▪ Engage your employees on sustainability from the beginning of their tenure at the company
![Page 17: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Behavior and Engagement Basics ▪ Emphasize starting with small wins and building
trust, cooperation, and engagement over time ▪ A company can move from dealing with
individuals and straightforward environmental indicators to collaboration and innovation, and finally toward symbiotic relationships and industry leadership
![Page 18: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Behavior and Engagement Basics ▪ Two traditional approaches to behavior change:
1. Information/education 2. Appealing to economic self-interest
▪ Research has shown that these approaches do not yield significant changes on their own
![Page 19: Business Sustainability Challenge · 2016-05-03 · Adapted from "Engaging Employees Through CSR" webinar by Hewitt Associates, ... value of green buildings and employee behavior?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e85c3fbc9e7f07e5f34e915/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Behavior and Engagement Basics ▪ It is more effective to use tools and processes
such as Community Based Social Marketing: 1. Select the new/desired behaviors 2. Identify the barriers/benefits to implementing the
selected behaviors 3. Develop strategy to optimize use of tools (such as
making commitments, using technology/apps, creating feedbacks, etc)
4. Pilot to ensure efficacy 5. Implement at a broad scale
