This mission statement sums up Backen Consulting. I believe we can make a significant contribution to the sustainability of our planet if we do not give up or give in. And if we do this without compromising on principle, we can make an even greater impact.

I have worked in this industry for 30 plus years and have experienced the ebbs and flows of energy efficiency. Those of us who have a passion for this industry know we can still make a difference if we persist. Energy efficiency should always be the first clean energy option.
