The Challenge

Sephora and LVMH have set a goal for 25% reduction in energy and carbon from stores by 2020 (from 2013 baseline) through energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions.

Work with Sephora and its stakeholders to develop an energy efficiency action plan that enables them to reduce their energy impacts while supporting business growth
Calculate the reductions required by analyzing and calculating the current and historical energy usage across Sephora’s entire North America retail fleet, as well as their projected energy consumption through 2020
Combine the energy calculations, extensive stakeholder input, and analysis of Sephora’s current retail design and operations to identify and prioritize energy efficiency and related cost saving measures for existing locations, remodels and expansions, and new store design

The Action Plan will ultimately inform Sephora on the steps to take to improve existing store operations, reduce costs, and enhance future store designs and operations to improve their retail environment and demonstrate Sephora as a responsible corporate citizen.
