The Reducing Carbon Audit
A unique risk-free assessment to help businesses understand how they can improve their bottom line and reduce carbon emissions
Significant increases in energy costs, security of energy supply concerns and the new far-reaching legislation which includes the Government's requirements for the UK to reduce emissions by 80%, is leading companies to examine how they can:
- Drive down costs
- Retain existing customers
- Attract new customers
- Conform to legislation
- Develop more sustainable businesses
More and more companies are reviewing how they conduct their operations across their entire organisation, seeing this as an opportunity to implement changes in the light of the credit crunch, significant energy price rises and legislation. Of great importance, it enables them to create a real competitive advantage.
"If you can't measure it, you can't improve it"
An essential first step in assessing what needs to be changed, in any business, is the undertaking of an audit to establish the current situation - good information leads to better business decisions.
The Reducing Carbon Audit has been developed to provide decision-makers with a risk free, valuable, convenient and concise report which has the following benefits:
- Identification of potential energy cost reduction opportunities
- Creation and development of useful Key Performance Indicators
- Important first step in energy and carbon management
- Vital step in creating a more sustainable business
- Production of an independently calculated carbon footprint
- Generation of important energy management information
- Benchmarking against which effectiveness of energy efficiency initiatives can be measured
- Part of the preparation for carbon legislation
- Useful in helping to retain and attract new business and customers
The Reducing Carbon Audit report also provides important recommendations and is the first part of a comprehensive programme to reduce carbon emissions and create a more sustainable business with sustainable profits.
