This document outlines a three-phase approach to establishing a sustainability program at a facility. Phase 1 involves developing policies, setting goals, and implementing quick wins. Phase 2 focuses on defining KPIs, creating teams, benchmarking data, and deploying reporting. Phase 3 involves rolling out the program enterprise-wide, defining long-term goals, and formalizing the program into management systems. Each phase builds upon the previous one to help facilities progress towards sustainability best practices. The document also provides examples of techniques to reduce energy, water, and waste like fixing leaks and improving processes. It emphasizes establishing foundations, pursuing continuous improvement, and engaging employees.

5. Example: a compressed air leak may be discovered and fixed, but monthly energy usage
still increases due to inefficiencies elsewhere and lack of a holistic and monitored
perspective on energy usage.
This discourages employees and leadership.
The Tale of Two Approaches
ESTABLISHING A FOUNDATION FOR CONTINUED PERFORMANCE
Antea USA, Inc. 4
Find-and-Fix Approach
Facility pursues energy/water reductions
in an opportunistic and ‘ad hoc’ manner.
While effective in immediately engaging
employees in ‘hands on’ action…
… successes often do not translate to
positive performance in overall metrics.
Programmatic Approach
Facility establishes a programmatic
approach to energy/water management.
While potentially more time/resource
intensive to implement…
… the result is strategic, sustained, and
consistent management of energy/water.

15. Create a Sustainability Team to lead and
coordinate activities between the various
groups that will need to be involved in
order for the energy/water/waste project
and program to be successful.
Establish a clear purpose for the team:
 Create and lead an ongoing
sustainability program
 Perform a one-time
energy/water/waste reduction
assessment
Involve people with interests in the
program and who know the company.

Tip: Employee Awareness and Engagement
TECHNIQUES TO DRIVE PERFORMANCE
16Antea USA, Inc.
Building employee awareness about why energy,
waste, and water are important and the role all
employees play should be immediate and ongoing.
The awareness program should focus on:
 Building an understanding
 Emphasizing the importance of involvement
 Encouraging active involvement and
communication
Awareness building must be frequent and
continuous in order to generate excitement and
maintain attention!
