What is ‘Why EY?’
‘Why EY?’ decks were developed by our Global Industry
Centers (GICs) as part of the Assurance-driven global
growth platform, Winning New Audits. ‘Why EY?’ is
intended to be a sector-focused toolkit to help our
professionals develop talking points and to serve as a
content source for pursuit materials.
Though portions of ‘Why EY’ can be repurposed for
proposal content, marketing materials and qualifications
decks, it is not meant to be brought to clients as a whole.
While every effort was made to include as much
externally-actionable content as possible, aspects of this
content, such as client names, are intended for internal
use only. Please heed any disclaimers contained in this
document. If you have any feedback or questions about
this content, please reach out to a member of the Global
Industry Center.
‘Why EY’ is a living document that will be updated
frequently by the GICs, so please be sure to always use
the most recent copy contained on the Global Industry
Center CHS.

Ernst & Young’s cleantech definition
Cleantech represents the technology and business model innovation that enables the transformation to a more resource efficient and low carbon
economy. The stakeholders, investors and benefactors of this new industry consist of both new pure-play innovators and companies from the
traditional sectors such as technology, power & utilities, automotive and consumer products, etc.
The cleantech transformation represents a new industrial revolution that will proceed over many years. Cleantech is both a group of vertical standalone industries, as outlined below, and a transformational wave that cuts across every industry as corporations are driven to become resource
efficient and low-carbon.
Definition: A diverse range of innovative
products and services that optimize the
use of natural resources or reduce the
negative environmental impact of their
use while creating value by lowering
costs, improving efficiency, or providing
superior performance.

Ernst & Young’s leadership
in cleantech
Resource and low carbon transformation:
sustainability and cleantech are driving change and creating opportunities
The transformation has generated reactions, activity and initiatives by
corporations, governments and corporate stakeholders that are
significantly linked and have critical dependencies
Powerful drivers have caused
a transformational change
This has created change and generated
opportunities but also raised new risks
Finance
• >$260b in global investments in 2011– record

• Growing number of IPOs – mainly China wind
and solar (e.g., Sinovel - $1.4B, Huaneng $850M); also US biofuels (e.g., Solazyme $227M, Gevo - $123M)

Global Cleantech Center
Identifying future growth opportunities
In partnership with other global industry centers and service lines, we are identifying
key emerging business issues and models that will drive the global cleantech economy
and create market opportunities for Ernst & Young and our clients.
Clean transportation
Battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) and other clean or zero emission vehicle technologies
are now operationally and economically proven and will continue to be adopted by both
consumers and large fleet users. This emerging ecosystem creates new businesses and
business models - transforming existing vehicle manufacturers as well as the individual,
corporate and municipal consumers who adopt these new technologies. In partnership
with the GAC and GPUC, the Global Cleantech Center is exploring these opportunities.
Sustainability and Transparency
With Ernst & Young’s Global Climate Change and Sustainability Services network, we are
advising our clients on their strategies to sustain growth and consumer confidence in the
face of mounting environmental challenges.

Energy Mix and Energy Efficiency
The strategic management of energy by corporations is rapidly evolving in response to a variety of business risks—financial,
energy security, brand equity, regulatory and competitive. In response, corporations are evaluating various options for energy
generation and consumption while also making significant increases in energy efficiency measures. Innovators and investors
are responding to this demand with increased investment in new energy efficiency businesses and technologies. In partnership
with the GREC and GPUC, the Global Cleantech Center is focusing on the full value chain of this emerging ecosystem.
Water technologies
In both emerging and western geographies, the demand for water is increasing at rates that cannot be satisfied with existing
systems and sources – globally, the demand for potable water is expected to double in the next 20 years. From investors to
global corporations, new technologies and businesses are being created to address this global opportunity.
