The Challenge

Lush is committed to a lot more than fresh, handmade cosmetics. From its use of all-vegetarian ingredients to an unwavering commitment to ethical buying and naked packaging, Lush is constantly looking for ways to further reduce its carbon footprint.

However, according to Nicky Arthur, Energy Management & Sustainability Specialist for Lush, opportunities for energy savings in smaller retail spaces can be challenging. While its stores had already started the process of energy reduction by installing LED lighting and implementing sensor controls, Lush knew it wanted to do more.

The Solution

By installing SiteSage, Lush was able to meet and exceed its goal for energy savings in the short-term and ultimately reduce expenditures by $215,000 per year. The modular, easy-to-use platform provides Lush with the ability to connect, analyze and control critical equipment under one single platform.

SiteSage also helps Lush to quickly identify and address equipment issues, reduce maintenance calls and keep store temperatures comfortable and consistent. Maintaining the temperature is important not only for customers and staff, but to maintain product freshness.
