Good Carbon Management Strategies normally involve:

		Measuring and reporting carbon emissions (footprint).
		Setting Targets for reducing carbon emissions (in scope and phase 1,2 & 3 for example).
		Minimising emissions by implementing and improving operational efficiencies
		Investing in identified technologies suited to your business.
		Working with your outsource team (consultant) and suppliers to understand the opportunities to improve your supply chain footprint.
		Sharing your new found knowledge of carbon management and reporting, alongside operational experiences to your existing and new client base and/or professional network. Providing and enhancing new and existing relationships.
		Encouraging and helping your people to reduce emissions they generate in their individual working pattern.
		Buying energy from renewable sources whenever practicable.
		Offsetting phased 1,2 & 3 carbon emissions by buying carbon credits certified under the voluntary carbon standard (VCS).
		Using DEFRA guidelines to calculate your carbon emissions.
		Partake in the CRC (Carbon Reduction Commitment) and possibly volunteer in the CDP.

Most companies recognise that the environmental impacts of their business represent both a risk and opportunity.

For example, your clients will be expecting you to actively manage your emissions and your reputation can be influenced by your approach to being a responsible business.

So here you have an opportunity to strengthen your brand as a sustainability leader, a differential to your competitors (or aligning you to your strongest competitor). It will also enable you to engage with your staff and sub-consciously increase their view as a sound place to work.

On the other hand a full carbon cutting exercise has initial costs with a return spread over a period of time (basis risk). And climate change could have potential risk to your business operations and the dynamics of the global economy as we know it today.

The key secret to success of any carbon programme is a robust carbon management plan and engagement of an experienced specialist who will assist you to define and process through this plan.

This will provide you with clarity of direction and a set of projects defined to meet your commercial targets (Social and Economic advantage), ensure compliance and employee engagement.

A specialist should initiate workshops, conduct review and change management of solutions.
