Business Excellence and Management, 2016, vol. 6, issue 1, 16-35

Abstract: In this paper the emphasis is put on the specifics of energy efficiency impact on the profitability of the service sector, with special insight into food retail. The theoretical and methodological presentations are illustrated by applying the comparative approach, on the original empirical data of food retailers. Because of the importance of energy costs in the retail food, it is important to take appropriate measures to ensure their reduction as a very important factor in increasing profits. These measures may be of a different nature. Thus, for example, sustainable ways to save energy costs in the retail food are: efficient lighting, cooling, heating, energy management and initiative for increasing the renewable energy sources use. This certainly includes the use of new energy efficient technologies and construction of energy efficient office buildings and stores in food retail sector (with continual improvement of existing ones)
