Drawing together for a greener and brighter future
Carbon is moving up the agenda for companies and organisations whose leaders realise that getting to grips with reducing their carbon footprint presents many opportunities for the future.
Rather than being a box-ticking exercise, carbon reduction can be a driver for change and a differentiator in a competitive marketplace. It is also a fiscal measurement and one which is increasingly ending up on the desk of the finance director.
Added to which the European and UK-led legislation and initiatives such as the carbon reduction commitment and carbon disclosure project means that most businesses soon won't have any choice and so forward-thinking managers will start to make changes before they have to.

- Cost reduction – Understanding the carbon impacts of your business presents opportunities to increase process and resource efficiency. This leads to cost reduction and can be one of the major drivers for organisations seeking to address their carbon agenda.
- Legislation – There is already a raft of carbon related legislation affecting business today – with more to come as government shares the responsibility for reducing emissions with the business community. Future proofing against forthcoming legislation means companies have a clear idea of the costs of compliance and can stay ahead of the game in this increasingly complex area.
- Investor expectations – Investment decisions are increasingly influenced by companies' performance in the area of environmental governance and carbon management plays a crucial role within this.
- Customer expectations – The demonstration of credible environmental credentials in the public domain creates a positive perception amongst your customer base.
- Brand / reputation – Carbon measurement and reporting present an opportunity to articulate brand and corporate values through innovative management strategies and related projects. Getting it right is essential however, as perceptions of "green-wash" can cause long term damage to corporate reputation.
- Increase organisational resilience – Reporting company carbon emissions will identify opportunities to make the organisation more resilient in terms of cost reduction and sustainable procurement.
