Climate change, carbon, and your business

It is clear that the need to adopt a sustainable and responsible position on climate change is rapidly rising up the corporate agenda.

Main drivers include:

  • demand from consumers for an environmentally responsible approach
  • the need to satisfy the requirements of legislation
  • minimisation of costs through increased energy efficiency
  • the opportunity to build a brand that reflects environmental sustainability
  • internal pressure to change from own company staff

Progressive businesses have already initiated programs to measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The carbon footprint is a key component of any carbon management program, quantifying the carbon impact of an individual product's lifecycle, or of the company as a whole. Reducing one's carbon footprint involves reducing company emissions, supply chain emissions, and carbon offsetting. See our Carbon FAQ for more details.

We have been assisting major corporations with carbon issues for over 15 years. Our team of consultants have worked on the following projects:

  • verifying global carbon emissions 25 times for major international companies including BP, General Utilities, GSK, Severn Trent, Cultor, Danisco, and Kesko
  • assisting a number of organisations with their carbon programs, including the City of Newcastle, Newcastle Building Society, Black & Decker, the UK Conservative Party, Sage, Newcastle University, Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE), Marriott, and Durham Cricket Club

How we can help you:

Our carbon assistance falls into the following broad areas:

  • Carbon footprint of your company
  • Carbon footprint of a product or products (lifecycle analysis)
  • Compliance with UK and EU legislation (e.g. the Carbon Reduction Commitment)
  • Emissions minimisation advice

Please see our Carbon FAQ for further details. We are always happy to discuss any of the above in more detail, and we can create a tailor-made package to suit your precise needs.
