Carbon management

Understand the business case for carbon management and develop your carbon footprint.

The world is changing. Organisations that ignore the new developments and don't know their carbon footprint and how to reduce it, might soon lag behind their competition.

Have you considered the following questions?

• Does my company fall under any greenhouse gas legislation?
• What are my competitors, peers and customers doing?
• How would a price on carbon impact my business?
• How would a rise in energy or fuel prices impact my business?
• Can I readily provide the carbon footprint of my organisation if required?
• How can I reduce my carbon emissions and by how much?
• Should I invest in abatement or reduction strategies?
• What are the implications of not acting?
• What are the green key indicators my business should be measuring?
• What business processes are the most carbon-intensive?

If not, the Carbon Management module (previously Climate Change module) will help you answer some of these questions and help you measure your organisation’s carbon footprint.

Through the Carbon Management module, Sustainability Advantage participants can focus on the following areas of work:

• measuring their carbon footprint
• developing a plan to reduce  their carbon footprint  
• carbon risk management
• adaptation to Climate Change
• engaging management and communicating thier carbon footprint internally

While results depend on the organisation’s own efforts, Sustainability Advantage assists its partners with:

• practical workshops
• providing a carbon calculator
• providing a comprehensive range of guides, case studies and templates
• phone and email advice
• feedback on company documents
• one-on-one specialist support.

Partners' efforts towards sustainability are promoted through the Sustainability Advantage Recognition Program.
