Energy Efficiency is possible – a concrete example

Stephen Drew, is the steering engine behind a successful project to improve the energy efficiency in Fonterra, a large industrial corporate in New Zealand. In a country that is well down in the OECD country rankings for energy efficiency, Stephen and his team have shown that things can be done and with short resources.

In his paper ‘Less talking and more walking down the energy efficiency road – the journey has begun’, Stephen drives us through the energy efficiency road, explaining the approach and the key for success – motivation.

The strategy is simple but effective. People get on and just do it. In analogy with sports he used these four human elements of leadership, discipline, training and team-work to describe how New Zealand needs to lift the game and learn to become a winner in energy efficiency.
