The Power of Three
The E Source Climate Change Suite includes an advisory service and two customer-focused tools. All three components work in concert to empower your staff and your customers to succeed in the confusing world of climate change.
| Start with Timely Research and Advice | |
| E Source Climate Advisory Service. Move your staff up the climate learning curve fast so they can deliver a consistent message and stellar service to your customers. Through membership, you'll be able to tap a wealth of resources on climate change—including in-depth reports, web conferences, and member inquiries—while networking with peers from other utilities who are facing similar challenges. Plus we'll provide pamphlets on key climate-related topics that you can print with your utility's brand and distribute to your customers. |

| Deliver Ready-to-Go Climate Change Tools to Your Customers on Your Web Site | |
| E Source Climate Resource Center. Make your web site an instant must-use climate resource for your customers and stakeholders. Give your customers access to climate-related educational resources and policy updates, a carbon footprint calculator, and links to your energy-efficiency and green-power offerings through this online portal. Hosted by E Source on your web site, the Climate Resource Center displays your utility's brand and demonstrates that your company is partnering with customers to tackle the climate challenge head-on. |
|
| Climate Footprinter. Are your major customers already asking for help with greenhouse gas inventories? If so, you'll be ready with the Climate Footprinter. This do-it-yourself greenhouse gas inventory toolkit serves your large customers whose emissions profiles are too complex to handle in a simple online calculator. We make it easy by providing step-by-step instructions and help desk support to teach your large customers how to build and maintain their own greenhouse gas inventory. And you'll get the credit! |
|
| By taking the lead on addressing environmental concerns, you'll ensure that your customers stay ahead of the curve and view your utility as their best resource for mitigating risks. With the E Source Climate Change Suite, your staff will quickly develop the climate expertise they need to be proactive partners who can offer your customers real solutions. | |
