Carbon for Retail

Proven solutions for reducing carbon and delivering value to your retail organization

Carbon Clear’s Carbon for Retail (CFR) program has been designed specifically for retail organizations to help you benchmark and understand your largest environmental impact areas. Our approach is non-prescriptive, allowing retailers to develop strategic reduction plans that uniquely align with their operational structures and address real impact areas. Let us help put you on a path of continuous improvement.

Proven benefits of the CFR program include:

• Identifying operational and cost inefficiencies
• Establishing an environmental sustainability program that is tailored for your business operations
• Expanding customer base
• Enhancing brand and reputation
• Meeting regulatory requirements
• Providing credibility and transparency to sustainability programs

How the program works:

1. Carbon Preparedness Assessment – the first step to understanding your carbon footprint is to determine the scope of your emissions and the level of access to emissions activity data. A successful carbon management strategy uses granular, operationally specific data, not industry averages or assumed data. Our team will work with you to assess how prepared your company is to begin gathering this level of data and provide recommendations on how to institute the optimal data collection frameworks needed to inform a meaningful carbon inventory analysis.
2. Carbon Action Plan – once our team has assessed your level of Carbon Preparedness we will formulate a Carbon Action Plan tailored around your retail business. This plan includes conducting an independent third party certified carbon inventory of your operations.
3. Continuous Improvement – effective carbon management does not end with a carbon inventory. Continuous improvement involves diving deeper into emission scopes (this may include examining vendor/supplier carbon assessments), and monitoring and managing progress through a tracking system designed to provide real time operational carbon performance data.

Carbon Clear has helped many retailers measure their organizational and product carbon footprints. We excel at taking clients through the assessment, development, and continuous improvement/monitoring phases of a comprehensive carbon management program shaped around precise and transparent international methodologies.

Carbon Clear understands the business model of retail. That makes us particularly suited to offer the most comprehensive and accurate carbon management services for retailers and their vendors on the market today.
