Carbon Footprinting

The Climate Change Bill requires an 80% reduction in absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Rising fuel prices and the Carbon Agenda are already pushing up costs and generating pinch-points throughout the supply chain; meanwhile customers increasingly expect companies to deal with these issues on their behalf. Our carbon footprinting service helps companies to analyse how these pressures will affect their activities, providing a foundation for constructive action.

Carbon Management

Calculating your carbon footprint is only the first step. Once you have identified where the costs and impacts are in your supply chain, our Carbon Management programme can develop an action plan to reduce them. This has immediate benefits in reducing costs and environmental impacts, and will generate marketing advantage by addressing customer concerns, but the real benefit is in reducing your company’s vulnerability to the changing world economy. We also have project experience of Carbon Offsetting which if operated correctly, can provide a method of offsetting greenhouse gas emissions effectively. The practice can be useful once effective action has been taken to reduce emissions as far as possible as a means of dealing with those last recalcitrant greenhouse gas emissions that are always so difficult to eliminate.
