"We feel that by working with Energy Advantage, the Forzani Group is exhibiting its good corporate governance and commitment to controlling operational costs by stepping forward with an energy management plan."

- Scott Weiler

The Forzani Group is Canada's largest retailer of sporting goods, offering a comprehensive assortment of brand-name and private-brand products, operating stores from coast to coast under three corporate banners: Sport Chek, Coast Mountain Sports and Sport Mart and also on-line at www.sportmart.ca. The Forzani Group is also a franchisor under the banners: Sports Experts, Intersport, RnR, Econosports and Atmosphere.

They've also been an Energy Advantage customer since 2004, when it contracted the company to measure its energy consumption and expenditure.

The baseline study offered a detailed overview of annual energy use and cost for 180 corporate store locations across Canada, as well as a breakdown of energy consumption patterns. The baseline report also served as a benchmark for measuring the success and return-on-investment of future energy management initiatives.
