The Environmental Case
Somar personnel are working with the Management of a wide range of companies (many of them household names) to provide them with the means to meet carbon reduction targets, and thus not only satisfying customers as they are seen to have high levels of ethics by living up their Corporate Social Responsibilities, but at the same time satisfying shareholders as they introduce a no-risk method of sustainably increasing profits.
The introduction of Energy Saving Technology is a "sustainability" project in the truest sense of the word - less energy usage provides a more sustainable environment, whilst also through cost control, sustaining profits and sustaining jobs. Energy efficiency may not be as glamorous as sales, but it is a far safer method of improving a company's profit margins.
The Environmental Manager's Challenge
There is no question that the introduction of Somar Energy Saving Technology into your business (where appropriate) will significantly reduce the carbon footprint left by your company. At Somar however we understand that finding a solution to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets (maybe the targets set for your ISO14001 programme, or your Board) is not the only the Challenge faced by those charged with reducing Energy Consumption. The biggest challenge is often to get fellow members of the Management team to put your proposals high enough on the commercial agenda to warrant capital expenditure, and to gain enough trust from the operational personnel and the users for them to allow you to introduce changes into their environment. Whilst many Manager's talk about Energy Saving as they feel it is the right thing to have on the agenda, a large number do not see the real value of an Energy Saving Programme and hence do not take it as a critical item on the agenda.
So how responsible are we? - well in short, and to put it bluntly, if you are using standard Metal Halide, SON or fluorescent fittings for your lighting you are highly irresponsible - Somar can provide you with Energy Efficient Lighting that can reduce your carbon output by as much as 90%!
If you are running your electric motors uncontrolled there are major opportunities for you to reduce your carbon footprint - once again significant savings can be made if you consume only the energy that you need - Somar energy efficient motor control technology will control starting and stopping, automatically switch motors on and off, and optimise performance (a bit like tuning your car).
If everyone continues to act irresponsibly there will not be enough electricity to go round and prices will continue to rise as supply gets leaner.
From a financial perspective, the introduction of energy saving technology is not (as it is often viewed) a new capital outlay (in effect your Company is already spending the money on energy that is wasted), rather it is a low risk, high reward investment. In effect the reduction of energy consumption is not only a responsible strategy from an environmental perspective, but also a responsible strategy from a fiscal point of view.
Then there is the question of risk - is the technology reliable, will it perform under operational duress? Of course your colleagues will question this..it is their job!
Somar can not only provide you with solutions that are well proven to significantly reduce your carbon footprint, but we can help you to present your solution in such a way as to satisfy your fellow Managers that it will be of significant benefit to them too.
You will be offering your Financial Management a low risk investment with a guaranteed return - in fact you can illustrate that it will cost them significantly more if they do not invest. Unlike most other investments that they make, this one is costing them money now.
You will be able to provide your technical and operational personnel with a high quality bespoke solution that uses proven technology, is easily applied (with minimum disruption to operations) and in most cases improves working conditions and significantly reduces maintenance and breakdowns
You will even keep the Marketing Team and the Customers happy - the Marketing team are certain to ensure that your Business is seen to be green (we will be happy to help them to promote this message if they wish) and that you get the full support of your customers
You only set out to reduce the Carbon Footprint, yet, everyone's a winner!
