The Problem

Sustainability and operations: still two separate worlds

Most organisations run sustainability reporting and operational improvement as parallel, disconnected programs. Energy savings found by the Lean team never make it into ESG disclosures. Emissions data sits in spreadsheets while the production team tracks OEE in a separate system.

🔄
Lean programs ignore ESG metrics
Six Sigma projects optimise cost and quality — but rarely capture the energy, water, or waste outcomes that now matter to boards and regulators.
📊
ESG data lags operational reality
Monthly or quarterly data aggregation means ESG performance is reported after the opportunity to act has already passed.
🏭
Multi-site benchmarking is manual
Comparing energy intensity across 20 plants requires custom extraction, normalisation, and analysis — not available in real time.
💰
ESG ROI is invisible to finance
Energy and waste savings are tracked in sustainability reports but never linked to P&L — making the business case for ESG investment hard to defend.

FAQs

Questions about Opex Transformation

How does Opex Transformation differ from standard ESG Deployment?

Opex Transformation focuses specifically on embedding ESG into Lean, Six Sigma, and operational programs. It includes energy management systems (ISO 50001), waste reduction programs, and production-linked ESG KPI frameworks — areas that standard ESG Deployment covers at a higher level. The two solutions are often deployed together.

Does this include ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certification support?

Yes. Both ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 implementation and certification support are included as standard. Gazelles handles documentation, internal audits, management review preparation, and coordination with certification bodies. Ecopshub manages document control, corrective action workflows, and ongoing compliance evidence.

How quickly can we expect to see energy savings?

Quick-win energy savings typically begin within 3–6 months of the Implement phase — often from lighting, HVAC, and compressed air improvements identified in the initial energy audit. Structural improvements (process changes, CAPEX projects) typically yield results within 12–18 months.

Can Ecopshub connect to our production MES system?

Yes. Ecopshub connects to major MES systems (Siemens, Rockwell, SAP ME, Epicor) via API. Production output data is used to calculate ESG intensity metrics (GHG/unit, kWh/unit, water/unit) automatically — eliminating the manual extraction that typically delays monthly ESG reporting.
