Overarching Pledge

Sample Initiative

Sample KWh Saved 

Switch it Off

• Ensure all unnecessary electrical / IT equipment is turned off at the end of the day 
• Avoid heavy machinery idling during production or cleaning 
• Encourage staff & customers to take the stairs during peak hours to reduce the number of elevator journeys at peak hours

60 self-checkouts, 5 elevators, 10 fridges = 1380kWh 

Be Smart with Space and Lighting

• Optimise Office working space. Only using selected meeting rooms and appliances. 

5 air conditioning units,100 LEDs, 20 printers (standby), 20 large screens (standby), 100 monitors (standby) = ~600kWh 

Cleaning

• Move Cleaning services (Industrial & office based) Outside of peak times & where possible use less energy intensive cleaning methods 

Shifting 5 vacuum cleaners and 2 dishwashes = ~200kWh 

Good Maintenance

• Ensure fridges are not overstocked, left open, and are set to the correct temperature 
• Effective maintenance of electrical assets will help ensure that they do not require excess power for the same output 
• Establish a reporting issue protocol for appliances and assets
