Services | Carbon Footprint

By adhering to environmental legislation and by taking steps to reduce your carbon footprint (1) not only can lead to significant cost savings but can also mean that you gain a significant edge over your competitors. Many organisations are already proving their green credentials and showing that they are acting in a socially responsible manner.

Failure to act responsibly can bring you into conflict with your shareholders, stakeholders and customers generating bad publicity. More pressing is that failure to comply with environmental legislation can carry serious criminal and financial penalties.

Start by looking at the direct emissions of your operation and also the indirect emissions through your supply chain. Then create a policy and implement actions that will help you reduce your emissions. When there is no scope to reduce your emissions consider carbon offsetting. (2)
