Our Markets - Retail
Burton Energy Group provides comprehensive energy, risk and environmental management services to Fortune 100 retail clients. Burton's supply and demand side executives in charge of the retail practice have over twenty years each in working with the market leaders in the retail space and making them better. Our retail experience includes working with almost half of the Fortune 100 commercial sector. We're different than most consultants in the energy space, as we have experience actually managing portfolios with several hundred million dollars in energy spend. One of our biggest frustrations with the so called experts in the space is they won't stand behind their opinion. We are the expert and will give you recommendations on where the market is going and when. We will also chart a consumption reduction path for you that will deliver savings far in excess of commensurate fees.
Our retail services offering begins with a proprietary twenty two point best practice diagnostic where we identify performance gaps in your existing energy and environmental operations. We collaboratively then review the gaps and layout the plan to secure lost profit. Our best practice diagnostic reviews the five major dimensions of your energy program including:
- Management & Strategy
- Processes
- Performance & Culture
- Skills & Knowledge, and
- Technology
We have used this diagnostic with dozens of leading retailers and we typically identify 20% to 30% lost opportunity in energy, maintenance and environmental activities. Our unique expertise then allows us to construct a remediation plan to capture this lost profit within 12 to 18 months. If we don't identify greater than 10% savings in your operation, the diagnostic is free.
