XYZ Company Energy Policy
Note that this organization has used a mnemonic—REDUCE—to help the workforce remember the energy management commitments set forth in the policy. The use of a mnemonic and the brevity of this policy statement facilitates training on and understanding of the commitments made in the policy by the workforce and on-site contractors and suppliers.
The opening paragraph of the policy supports the relevance of the policy to the nature and scale of the company’s energy use (i.e., it recognizes that the company’s business involves energy intensive operations).
