3. Tips to taking action / recommendations / quotes.

When talking about accelerating the transition, business might have an important role in it, by contributing
to a lower-carbon economy. Before defining and establishing a renewable energy is important to identify
the company’s motivations for procuring renewable energy, the adaptation of supporting goals and the
commitment and identification of internal resources.

Suggested steps for establishing the strategy (Harrison, 2018):

Assessment of options: The first step is to analyze and take into consideration the available options consid-
ering different factors, in order to determine the feasible one. It is important to consider the future policies
that might affect the costs, availability and incentives for renewable energies. The Climate Policy Tracker
for Business is a tool that helps businesses, assessing them about the effect of regulations on renewable
energies.
