WELCOME

Welcome to the Energise Index. Thank you for your time to complete this questionnaire. The Index is a tool designed to measure performance over time of your energy management approach.

We’ve structured the index to provide a score out of 100 in terms of how your energy management approach is structured. 

We present the results against sub-categories so you can obtain insight into where your energy management can be improved.

All questions should be considered to be "binary" when answering Yes or No (i.e. there is no scale).
