Carbon Reduction

Carbon reduction is a central feature of an effective carbon management strategy, helping drive cost savings and generate compelling stories with which to engage your staff, customers and investors.

The UK government has committed to an 80% reduction in emissions from 1990 levels by 2050. Similarly the EU has committed to a 20% reduction by 2020 against 2007 projections. Set against the background of rising energy and commodity costs and increasing scrutiny of environmental performance by stakeholders, businesses are increasingly coming under reputational and cost pressure to reduce their carbon footprint.

Reducing your carbon emissions will:

• Reduce the long term operating costs of your business;
• Reduce exposure to legislative costs associated with current and future carbon legislation such as the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, EU ETS, CCA, and other government carbon levies;
• Reduce your risk to increasing energy prices and future energy market volatility;
• Make it easier to achieve PAS 2060 carbon neutrality, the Carbon Trust Standard and a higher position on the CRC league table;
• Help you to communicate your environmental credentials to your stakeholders.

Carbon Clear’s reduction consultants will help you identify a cost effective and commercially appropriate plan to:

• Reduce consumption of your current resources such as electricity, gas, fuel, and water;
• Recycle more of your unused resources such as waste paper, water and heat;
• Switch to less emissions intensive resources such as onsite renewable energy or CHP.
