The 6 point Carbon Balance Strategy is designed as a guideline and implementation process to assist your organisation in achieving your strategic objectives.
We partner you in managing the process and assist you in resourcing the solutions needed.
1. Educate & Inform
- Create awareness within your organisations of the need to take action on issues concerning global warming.
We can provide a comprehensive, scientifically based argument confirming that global warming has been identified as a result of anthropogenic effects on the planet.
2. Identify & Evaluate
- Conduct an emissions audit to identify your organisations Carbon Footprint (Scope 1, 2 & 3).
The art of a robust Carbon Balanced Statement is in the diligence taken to complete an approved audit that follows GHG Protocol procedures. We have created a detailed audit trail which we send to you to complete internally.
Once this is done we convert the figures to give you a reading of total kg’s of CO2-e emitted. This is your Emmissions Inventory Report and calculates your Carbon Footprint, identifying where your business emits greenhouse gases.
3. Communicate
- Inform internally and externally.
To inform both your staff and your marketplace of your ‘carbon strategy’ we have in place a set of communication tools to convey your message. Our tools will assist you in communicating your strategy and demonstrate your corporate responsibility towards climate change. The benefits to business may not be obvious at first but can be a powerfull marketing and decision making process that can bring about a competative advantage.
4. Reducing the Imbalance
- Initiate more sustainable practices designed at reducing your imprint.
Now that we have worked out your carbon imprint the real task of reducing your emissions begins so that next year your carbon responsibility is less. We assist you in sourcing more sustainable solutions and measuring the improvements. This can also bring upon a culture change as staff are often pro-actively engaged in sustainability issues.
5. Re-Balance
- Align the organisation with the right carbon offsetting
program.
What cant be reduced then gets offset. We suggest to you what is the right carbon mix of offset programs that suit your needs. Whether renewable energy, bio-sequestration, land reduction or emissions flaring. We can advise you a range of carbon offset solutions to suit your needs.
6. Monitoring
- Yearly monitoring of carbon reductions via annual audits.
We hold the registrar of your yearly environmental imprint, your offsets, and the projects implemented per year as we reach towards your strategic target. C.B.C. documents all this for auditing and accountability purposes to validate the strategic claim.
