Can anyone do a Pestle Analysis of Chipotle ? Opportunities and threats?
Chad Pty Ltd (CPL) is preparing to design and implement sustainability systems and processes. You find (as the environmental director) that energy is a key resource for business operations; first for heating water and second for operational and security lighting. Management of these key resources for business operations can save the company money. Therefore the first step is to measure the water flow at the premises and the second step is to calculate the cost of heating water for 320 days each year. The second key resource for business operations is energy for operational and security lighting for 365 days each year. You report directly to William South, the CFO. The daily rinsing process for fruit and vegetables requires the tap to run for 55 minutes per day and use 11 litres of water flow per minute. The water is heated to 65oC. The table below provides the number of kWh required to heat one kilolitre of water to various temperatures

45 oC 56kwh
55 oC 65kwh
65 oC 84kwh
75 oC 103kwh
