Putting energy efficiency to work for business

With more than two million small businesses in Australia, contributing almost a third of total GDP, there is a significant opportunity for SMEs to reduce their energy use and advance Australia’s net zero emissions goal.

On Thursday 16 May 2024, ANZ and the EEC released Putting energy efficiency to work for business, a new report in the ‘forgotten fuel’ series that highlights the significant contribution energy efficiency and electrification can make to creating energy savings and emissions reductions for Australian businesses.

The first report in the series, Putting energy efficiency to work, was published in May 2023, focussing on the wider Australian economy, and the contribution of demand-side measures to decarbonising and cutting bills across the country.

This latest report includes case studies from ANZ customers to illustrate the practical steps real Australians are taking to use energy efficiency measures in their business practices, and the positive impacts those measures have created.

The report is available now.
