Client engagements
Don’t just take our word for it.
Here are some real world examples of what our clients have achieved with our help. If they sound like the results you want, let’s talk.
Z Energy
Z’s purpose is to solve what matters for a moving world. At Z, we reckon sustainability matters and we’re committed to acting in a way that benefits the future of the communities we operate in. ESP provides the management tools for Z to achieve our goals.
Background
Z Energy (previously, Shell Oil New Zealand) is a retail fuel provider with over 300 sites throughout New Zealand. Each site is owned by one of 22 retail companies. Z Energy are a top 20 publicly listed company. They directly employ over 300 people and indirectly a further 2,200 through their retail network. They own a stake in New Zealand’s only refinery at Marsden Point and sell around 48% of New Zealand’s total transport fuel.
Challenge
The main challenge for Z Energy was managing its electricity, water and waste data. The company wanted to analyse and benchmark data at corporate, site and retail levels. To do this, they were using a combination of spreadsheets to complete the process.
Senior Management recognised that the existing data management and reporting process was not sufficient to do what they required and needed an urgent overhaul.
They sought a solution that provided a single view of the data with the functionality to analyse and report information at all levels within the organisation.
Outcomes
Z Energy engaged ESP (then BraveGen) in discussions for a possible solution for their data management and reporting requirements.
ESP provided a “proof of value” concept using historical data to demonstrate how our software would collect, aggregate and display their data.
Using ESP’s automated data collection systems and sophisticated Business Intelligence tools, Z Energy was able to increase the speed and accuracy of reporting and provide detailed reporting to key stakeholders.
Bank of New Zealand
ESP accurately diagnoses one of the biggest pain points in sustainability, reporting and provides a viable, innovative, solution.
Background
Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) is one of New Zealand’s largest banks. It employs over 5,000 people and operates a nationwide network of 180 retail stores and business centres. BNZ must report its carbon footprint, energy use and water consumption twice yearly to its parent company.
Challenges
BNZ’s carbon capture and reporting process was heavily reliant on spreadsheets. There was immense time pressure at reporting time with only 6 weeks to gather all data from suppliers; collate, analyse and comment on trends; and submit individual spreadsheets on 15 different types of data.
Each spreadsheet had to contain all source data, emission factors, commentary and approval, and ensure the correct version of the file was being passed around.
Reviewing and approving the data was extremely time-consuming, unreliable, open to human error and in some cases wasn’t possible at all.
Management and board didn’t have confidence in the accuracy and reliability of the emissions report and figures presented to them
Outcomes
The bank has now visibility of the entire emissions profile, all of the emission sources, all of the base data, all of the emissions factors, and carbon dioxide equivalents.
BNZ is now able to perform analytical and historical comparisons at any level of detail the bank wants, to review it.
Utilizing a smart approval process and automated notifications ensures activity data from internal and external suppliers is received, reviewed and approved on time.
ESP, formerly BraveGen, completely transformed the process and provides BNZ with the level of governance and oversight to feel confident that the data is absolutely right.
Auckland Council
Challenge
Managing 3,500 properties with a wide range of uses, distributed around Auckland with a small team is a huge challenge for Auckland Council. However with energy efficiency targets to meet the Council team needed to focus on achieving and sustaining gains through partnership.
Solution
The ESP energy and water monitoring solution was implemented at nearly 100 of the Councils largest, or most used buildings. The team is able to remotely identify and target improvements in the portfolio and be alerted when anomalous usage occurs. The system is now a core component of delivering to the corporate property portfolios emission reduction targets of 50% reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050 from the Councils FY2018 baseline.
Outcome
The council have achieved energy savings of 11.73GWh (the amount ~1,035 households use each year), avoided 1,231 tonnes of CO2-e and are on track to save $1.5m per year in operating costs. Throughout Covid-19 the team was able to monitor key sites remotely, ensuring they were efficiently shutdown whilst still ensuring appropriate ventilation for their use.
Auckland Council has also invested in the use of View, providing up-to-date and digestible data on the business’s progress so far in sustainability.
