Industry Perspectives

The Electric Power Research Institute developed a decision-support tool EPRI has developed a “Decision Tree” to determine WHY to consider ecosystem services (e.g., stakeholder pressure, regulatory obligations, financial benefits), WHEN to consider ecosystem services (e.g., land sales/purchases, changes in land management protocols), and HOW to consider ecosystem services (e.g., what actions could be taken).

This technical report prepared by the Electric Power Research Institute’s Electric Sustainability Interest Group provides a literature review on the business case for broad corporate sustainability and a summary of information to inform executive decision makers.

This topical brief prepared by the Electric Power Research Institute provides an overview of ecosystem services and discusses how electric power companies may leverage these services to increase corporate value and reduce risk.
