Although many businesses and individuals are aware of the climate-change threat and its disastrous consequences, they are often paralysed by the magnitude and complexity of the problem and don’t know where to begin. This is mainly because they do not understand how their behaviour contributes to the problem and the possible alternatives and solutions. Simple actions can have wide-reaching effects and climate change often presents organisations with opportunities through the process of addressing this challenging issue.
Many businesses are embracing environmental strategies in order to realise their business and environmental goals. Pro-active companies are exploiting the new markets that are opening up due to climate-change awareness and consumer trends toward climate friendly products. Determining your carbon footprint is the first logical step on the road to supporting your sustainability initiatives.
Advantages:
- Seen as a leader that supports key social issues
- Increased trading opportunities, as companies that are carbon and energy-efficient and have sustainability initiatives look for trading partners with the same environmental ethos
- Exploit the growing market for products from carbon-aware companies
- Differentiation from competition and increased visibility in the consumer base
