“General consumers and the question of energy efficiency”: Rexel reveals the results of the first international survey conducted by Harris Interactive
European and Americans are ready to reduce their electrical consumption but need information and advice from experts
Energy efficiency aims to reduce energy consumption while maintaining the level of service provided, therefore reducing economic, ecological and social costs. Professionals in this field are very familiar with the issue, but how do French, English, German and American citizens perceive energy efficiency? How do they go about saving energy in their households? Are they prepared to make sacrifices and change their habits?
To try to answer these key questions, Rexel, a leading worldwide distributor of electrical supplies called on Harris Interactive to interview a representative sample of the population of these 4 countries : The results of this first investigation show that energy efficiency is at the heart of the public’s concerns.
“This survey shows that we are in the process of moving towards a new energy model. As a market leader, Rexel is particularly involved in accelerating change, helping clients to find eco-efficient solutions and continuing to play a driving role in energy efficiency issues within the electrical sector”, says Jean Charles Pauze, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of Rexel.
