Making carbon management work for you

An effective carbon management programme will deliver clear commercial benefit to your company. As your carbon management partner, Carbon Clear will help you:

Reduce Costs

Your biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions are often the items that cost you money: fuel, electricity, raw materials, business travel and waste disposal. Reducing your carbon footprint will deliver savings that support both your environmental and financial goals. For example for one tonne of CO2 reduced, you could save more than £500 in petrol costs (based on April 2010 fuel prices).

Protect Your Brand

A report by the Carbon Trust indicates that climate change has put over £20 billion of brand equity at risk. Properly developing and communicating your low-carbon credentials will help your business stay on top and benefit from access to considerable media content dedicated to green and sustainability issues. Carbon Clear will help you deliver the results and content to support an effective and credible communications message.

Comply With Legislation

Governments around the world are enacting new rules that will force companies to measure and reduce their carbon footprints, such as the CRC Energy Efficiency scheme in the UK. Carbon Clear can help you understand how legislation affects your business and how to develop an optimal compliance strategy.

Differentiate From Your Competitors

Due to the focus on corporate social responsibility (CSR), most companies have now implemented some form of environmental policy. As consumers become increasingly informed and proactive, only companies with comprehensive, credible and transparent carbon management programmes will be rewarded in the marketplace. Carbon Clear understands this and will ensure that your policies, reduction strategies and carbon offsets are robust, providing you with peace of mind and protecting your long term competitiveness.

Win New Business

Consumer demand for environmentally sound products and services is growing rapidly, and increasingly focus is upon the whole supply chain and not just the end product. For this reason, many companies now take the environmental record of their suppliers into account during procurement decisions and have developed supply chain CSR policies. Carbon Clear's expertise will help you incorporate effective carbon management into your core business model in order to help you win and retain customers.

Retain, Recruit and Train Staff

Employees expect their companies to be good corporate citizens and research shows that the best candidates increasingly prioritise the CSR record of employers. Developing a comprehensive carbon reduction plan demonstrates your commitment to environmental goals, strengthens morale and can contribute to a lower organisational carbon footprint. As carbon management consultants we specialise in providing energy reduction workshops and training tools that will allow you to engage and inspire your staff in the most effective ways.

Get ahead of the game

There is no doubt about: in the future environmental legislation is going to get tougher and wider-reaching, and consumers and supply chain purchasers are going to get better at differentiating environmentally responsible products and services. Organisations that put robust carbon and environmental strategies in place now will be those that can respond with agility to new demands and market opportunities. Playing catch-up is expensive, stressful and – most importantly – not very effective! We can help you plan and implement today, for a more secure tomorrow.
