Greif UK Limited
Greif UK is a subsidiary of Greif Brothers USA, a worldwide drum manufacturing business. Operating from 5 UK sites, Greif UK produces a range of metal drums and plastic containers. Greif UK wanted to consolidate their position on energy management and engaged ECM to provide a range of services.
The Problem
Greif wanted to ensure their utility accounts were correct and as contract. Greif also wanted to be sure their sites were on the most advantageous tariff.
The complexities of the energy and utility industry has brought about a need to not only audit and validate costs on an ongoing basis, but also understand the wide range of tariffs available from the various suppliers and relate them to the site specific environment. With pressure on the resources of many companies, minimising costs through maximising audit savings is often overlooked.
The Solution
Independent Audit and Tariff Review
- Short Audits to identify the scale of opportunities.
- Detailed Audits producing clear recommendations, budget costs and payback periods.
- Specific Climate Change Levy Audits & Application Management.
- Bill validation
- Energy Procurement
ECM can effect a direct improvement of profits.
Energy Cost Management (ECM) are specialists in the field of utility costs. Our experienced team are able to undertake audits of the principle utilities, Electricity, Gas, Water, Oil, Trade Effluent and Drainage to ensure charges previously levied were correct and that currently the sites are on the most favourable tariff.
Frequently the audit provides not only saving opportunities but also identify overcharges which result in refunds. Essentially ECMs Audit Service removes the risk of overpayment.
With the Utility Industry in an almost constant state of change, and energy prices rising so dramatically, there has never been a greater need to rigorously validate the accuracy of accounts. Utility bills are complex - unlike typical bills they have many component parts, which can be difficult to understand. To validate these charges correctly, expert knowledge of how the bills are compiled is essential.
