EP 4: Vincent Battaglia - Bringing Ethics And Efficiency To The Energy Industry

Is your energy the best energy? Most of us don't think twice about our energy company or the impact their practices and policies have on sustainability. And most of us never realize there's a better option...   Vincent Battaglia is the founder and CEO of Renova Energy, an organization that exists to provide sustainable, efficient energy and building practices to California communities - and better policies to the whole country - all while seeking to undercut the current nationwide energy monopoly held by centralized utilities.   In this episode of Thinking Green, Mo and Vincent break down the birth and family atmosphere of Renova, how Vincent and his peers are fighting the hold that significant utilities have on energy across the country (plus how they're taking the fight to Washington), and why Vincent puts so much of his focus and effort on providing resources to nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. Listen in for an interview that will revolutionize the way you see your light bill - and the effects of energy on every corner of your life.   What You'll Learn: How Vincent has structured his organization to give proactively to its employees and their futures, even if they should leave the company Why keeping a successful solar business running has as much to do with knowing how to navigate the significant players in the industry as it does with the dedication to sustainability What customer expectations can do for your organization, for good or ill, and how to manage them properly And much more!   "We walk, we talk, but the best thing to do is to bring people and grow your organization because the most powerful voice is a concise message that comes from one single organization organizing under the renewable energy flag."   Vincent Battaglia     Connect with Vincent: LinkedIn Renova Energy   How to Get Involved: Mohammed Abdalla is the Founder & CEO of Good Faith Energy and its subsidiary companies.
