Envido's integrated energy and carbon reduction solutions help DDB save £56,000 in under one year.

As more companies pursue ISO 14001 certification to save energy costs and demonstrate their environmental commitment to their clients, DDB looked to Envido to provide them with the necessary tools and support to do so- and they made savings of £56,000 in the process.

Global advertising agency DDB were last week awarded ISO 14001 environmental management system certification from AJA Registrars, a third-party auditor of quality and environmental systems.

Achieving ISO 14001 certification displays DDB’s commitment to achieving its environmental goals and acknowledges this global advertising agency as a leader in environmental management systems.

How Envido helped DDB gain maximum benefit from its low-carbon journey

Whilst DDB’s primary driver for implementing ISO 14001 was to drive down energy costs, they also wanted to drive down their carbon emissions. Being able to demonstrate this was also seen as an extremely important input to enhancing their own brand credentials. They felt an overarching need to display real Corporate Social Responsibility, both inwardly with their staff and outwards-facing to their clients as well.

Envido provided the tools and support for DDB to implement ISO 14001 and save £56,000 in under one year in the process. Envido offered an integrated solution to helping DDB reduce their energy costs and carbon emissions.

An Opportunities Assessment first helped identify where savings could be made. Smart and sub metering technology was then installed to measure, monitor and communicate real-time data to employees.

Finally, as part of achieving ISO 14001 certification, DDB looked to Envido to provide face-to-face environmental training to staff to effect behavior change and make savings over the long-term.
