Greening Business – creating growth through green technology, investment and regulation

Industries such as manufacturing, transport and energy have long been the largest emitters of pollutants. As natural resources become scarcer, energy prices more volatile and regulation tougher, their costs are spiralling. At the same time, more and more sectors – including life sciences, consumer goods, financial services and government – are facing similar challenges.

PA’s work with its clients shows that green technology, investment and beneficial regulation can address these challenges by creating new growth opportunities while driving efficiency and implementing environmentally-friendly measures. To create new revenues, drive down costs and achieve differentiation in the marketplace, industries must work together to benefit from each other’s respective strengths.

Only by finding common ground can manufacturing, transport, energy and the public sector make green mobility a reality and the power supply green. PA helps organisations tackle resource-intensive parts of their operations while reinvesting money for environmental initiatives and growth.

The result is long-lasting, green-focused growth that is a key differentiator during the transition to a low carbon, green economy.

Our work has seen us reduce production costs of a lithium-ion battery and thereby emissions from buses and commercial vehicles for Magna Steyr, develop a working strategy for Hawaiian Electric to reduce carbon emissions by 40 per cent and provide technical advice on renewable sources for UK Power Networks.

We have also provided technical consultation on heliostat (a device that follows the sun's position to maintain reflective sunlight) design to SolarReserve reducing their costs by 20 percent and helped Vattenfall reduce costs and improve employee satisfaction throughout its business. PA's work for Energy Investors Fund supported investment decisions based on market analysis, price forecasts and asset valuation incorporating complex renewable energy policies.
