Corning turns a small, successful energy initiative into a successful global energy program

The development of Corning’s new Global Energy Management initiative is a story of building on a small, successful, business-unit energy program to create a rapid shift in corporate thinking, new policies, and new action plans on energy use, costs, and security. Scott Ryan illustrates the features of the initial model program, and he chronicles the process by which it was scaled up into a global program that is optimizing energy-efficiency investments, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving energy supply reliability. He details implementation costs, proofs of success, and strategies for garnering needed high-level corporate commitments.
