Is your business’s carbon management strategy enhancing your business or is the lack thereof holding you back? Changing stakeholder expectations are making it more important than ever for companies to leverage carbon management services to demonstrate their commitment to reducing carbon emissions and accurately disclose their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data. Meeting these challenges requires tremendous time and resources, particularly if your business has a large, geographically diverse portfolio.
What is Carbon Management?
Your carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide, or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, that your organization contributes to the environment. A long-term carbon management plan provides your organization with a documented strategy and roadmap that will help you prepare for the physical and economic risks of climate change.
Energy, Waste & Carbon Management
Energy, waste and carbon management go hand-in-hand. As significant contributors to Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, energy and waste are responsible for a significant amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. By collecting and analyzing complete, accurate data on your organization’s energy and waste use, you can begin to better understand your carbon footprint. This data will inform your long-term planning as well as annual reporting and disclosure.
How do sustainability managers help reduce carbon emissions?
Sustainability managers aid in the reduction of carbon emissions by identifying problem areas within the organization. They develop strategic sustainability strategies to reduce emissions through the use of renewables and other sustainable energy resources. Proper implementation of items such as solar water heating, wind generation, and fuel cells powered via hydrogen or other natural gases are all examples of tactics that can be pursued in an effort toward decarbonization.
