I agree with this statement. In this new age, businesses are becoming more social and more green. With proper energy management the business is showing an interest in natural and social capital- investing in our natural resources and in people power. It makes perfect sense that those companies that have such a plan would have a higher output- most consumers would put their money into companies that were striving to become more sustainable. It may cost more in the short term, but in the long term it may actually save the business some money. Regardless these are great steps towards regulating emissions and energy. We at the University of Vermont Global Sustainability Institute ((http://learn.uvm.edu/ig_ realize that just these small steps can have a great impact for the future. “Given rising energy prices and a growing awareness of the importance of energy conservation, a carefully conceived energy management strategy may well be one of the most important steps a business can take to sustain and grow business.” I agree with this statement.
