Vivid Vision is a powerful tool to attract top talent, align the team, stay focused, and keep everyone motivated even in the most challenging circumstances. Our vivid vision paints a picture of what DNE looks and feels like five years into the future as if it’s already happened.
Welcome to December 31, 2028, where DNE has redefined what it means to be a full-service energy management partner. Our purpose is to empower our teammates, customers, and communities to thrive!
Specifically, we make it simple, easy and impactful for businesses to spend less, use less and harm less by taking charge of their relationship with energy.
Since December 31, 2023, we have been working towards the following mission: Thriving team and customers, with a billion under management by Dec 31, 2028.
We have smashed our objectives with employee satisfaction and wellness scores as well as customer satisfaction scores consistently in the high 90s for several years.
Our customers are finding tremendous value in our procurement, energy efficiency and sustainability service offerings which help them meet their objectives and create value in their businesses.
We can now say with confidence that we have built a true social enterprise constantly focused on the triple bottom line: people, planet and profits.
Seek empirical truth to disrupt subjective convictions and align priorities for long-term success.
Focus on the mission, not egos; listen before being heard, stay open to being wrong; don’t take credit, give it.
Invest the energy to consistently outpace the impossible through speed and perseverance.
Affect change through positive thoughts and actions; never criticize, condemn, or complain.
Take full responsibility for your actions and never make excuses in the face of epic challenges.
As a professional services provider in a competitive space, great people are DNE’s competitive advantage. We distinguish ourselves by fostering an environment that attracts and nurtures the growth of high integrity, high potential, people passionate about having a major positive impact on our customers and communities.
Therefore our team members’ health, happiness, overall wellbeing and growth are the main drivers of our success. Put differently, we believe that happy, healthy and growing team members = happy, healthy and growing customers, which in turn leads to a healthy business and from there comes the abundance to invest in the health of our communities.
Our team has now grown into 100 high energy, high integrity, happy, healthy, passionate and driven people, who have fun doing their work. Our corporate programs are a raging success and promote passion, wellness and positive energy for all team members. Some of our most impactful programs include:
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy (DEI Committee, Training, Bi-Annual Surveys and related constant improvement processes)
Mental Fitness Strategy (time, funding, and stigma reduction)
DNE Learning Academy (constant focus on growth and learning supported by an abundance of internal programs through our LMS and in-house career/education guidance along with funding to pursue external education at world class institutions)
Environmental Stewardship Strategy (policies and practices to ensure we walk the talk)
How do we know our team is happy and healthy? We ask them! Every six months we measure our team’s self-reported levels of health, happiness and growth using a proprietary internal wellness metric that we are focused on constantly improving.
We are known for this and people are excited to join our team because of our demonstrated track record helping team members to lift their self-reported levels of health and happiness within six months of joining the team and beyond.
Cut Cost, Consumption and Carbon
We have pioneered Energy Management as a Service. Our 3-phase value creation process includes:
Take charge of our customers’ energy purchasing strategy in order to optimize for cost and risk.
Reduce our customers’ consumption through energy infrastructure improvements (HVAC, LED lighting, controls and automation) delivered by trusted partners.
Achieve our customers’ sustainability goals through our reporting suite and tailored environmental solutions (RECs, VPPAs, solar, wind, storage).
All combined our services help customers to reduce cost, consumption and carbon making them heroes for their companies and communities.
Our service delivery and customer relationships are managed by our proprietary technology system, which meets and exceeds our customers’ expectations. Our customers find it incredibly convenient to access invoicing and bills analysis, monitoring of consumption & real-time customer communication. We even take it one step further by providing energy efficiency infrastructure project evaluation and tracking. For instance, our system can forecast when a new LED lighting investment will pay for itself and can track the actual vs projected ROI. Finally, the system generates sustainability reporting and enables the purchase of environmental attributes to assist in achieving carbon goals all within our proprietary customer platform.
