Built by Leaders in Energy Management and Food Retail:
Taper and Ratio Institute developed the free Grocery Energy Assessment in response to a clear gap in the market and growing demand from grocery customers who need accessible tools to proactively manage their energy usage. Whether you’re an independent grocer looking for a quick, no-risk way to uncover cost-savings opportunities, a mid-level chain seeking to benchmark performance and prioritize upgrades, or an enterprise retailer in need of a scalable tool to support portfolio goals, the free Grocery Energy Assessment delivers immediate, actionable, and individual store-level insights.
“This tool removes barriers for grocers who want to take action but don’t have time or resources to waste. It’s fast, practical, and built specifically for food retailers based on real-world data and the latest industry best practices.”
