The ESA Charter – How Does it Relate to Enigin?
Hello!
Well, here I am again and at the moment still keeping at the blogging. Actually it is not as much of a strain as I thought it might be…I’m sure we all know that “Oh, why did I start this” feeling, but so far so good.
As I, on behalf of Enigin, and the other Council Members work harder and harder to make the new look ESA website really exceptional, we have of course been giving more thought to who the members are and how they have told us they want the Association to evolve.
I found that a useful starting point for this was to look back at some of the decisions we made when we got together to begin the ESA, see how much things have already changed and review some of the good feedback I have received from the members.
An important first decision that we all agreed on was the need for the Energy Saving Association to have a Member’s Charter. This was not to be a horrid list of do’s and don’ts, but a clear statement of purpose and aims that all members who wished to join would identify with and would be proud to agree to.
Can you imagine putting this together? We are all in the same industry but scattered around the world and coming at things from different angles. One major consideration for the Enigin management was that it could not be at variance with our own Mission Statement. We take this particularly seriously as it was written, and is periodically reviewed, by the entire Enigin staff.
The ESA Charter, in its finished version, is a meaningful document. I won’t give you the entire 300+ words here, but this extract from the opening statement neatly sums up why we set off down this road:
This Charter has been prepared by the Energy Saving Association, whose aims are to promote and support the reduction of energy consumption, particularly by commerce and industry, on a global basis. The ESA believes that energy efficiency is the single, most important future source of energy. The ESA recognises that energy use contributes significantly to the threat of climate change and that we must all play our part by taking sensible and considered action to reduce energy consumption.
Now, back to the Enigin Mission Statement, this had to be in tune with the Charter and vice versa.:
“Enigin will continue to promote and deliver dynamic, innovative and responsible energy saving solutions – empowering forward thinking individuals and organisations worldwide to Profit With Integrity… without costing the earth.”
As the Mission Statement declares, we are here to provide the best possible energy saving solutions, what better synergy could there be than with the aims set out in the ESA Charter?
It is this concern with energy saving that shapes all the decisions the Council Members take and this why I am so pleased to be Enigin’s “man at the ESA”
I’ll blog again soon, by then I will have the latest news on the added features soon to be found at the ESA.
