Enterprise Carbon Management
Managing
greenhouse gas emissions presents a new and fundamental challenge to business.
Suddenly in "carbon" (CO2 and CO2-equivalents)
we have a new item that every organization must confront. It is a cost, a risk,
and perhaps an opportunity. Carbon is everywhere: in the supply
chain, in processing and manufacturing, in offices and call centers, in employee
work habits and executive travel, and in the packaging and final disposal of
products.
The Emerging Low Carbon Economy
To reduce global warming, governments are moving to put a price on carbon (via
cap-and-trade, taxes or other means.) Leading corporations (like Walmart)
are starting to demand that suppliers document the environmental impact and
carbon footprint of their products. Legislation now under consideration
may soon require carbon documentation for all products sold in Europe. And
both consumers and employees want to see companies taking action on climate
change. The cost of carbon has nowhere to go but up, and the need
to account for and reduce carbon emissions has nowhere to go but up. Are
you ready?
Carbon management is also an opportunity: Companies that respond most
effectively will have a competitive advantage. But gathering the necessary data can become an overwhelming task, particularly when
faced with the challenges of diverse geographic locations, complex
organizational
structures and a variety of utility and carbon sources. The rapidly
changing reporting landscape and audit requirements complicate the
task. Carbon accounting and management is new challenge requiring new
tools.
