Follow on Google News | Carbon management on the rise as a priority for blue-chipsLatest report from the Carbon Disclosure Project reveals firms are committed to deliver carbon reduction targets despite political uncertainty.
By: Envido Ltd. The Carbon Disclosure Project is an investor-back lobby group that requests firms report publicly on their carbon emissions and climate change strategies. The report found that companies reporting to the Carbon Disclosure Project see climate change as more of an opportunity than a risk, with 9 out of 10 firms identifying significant opportunities and fewer than 8 in 10 identifying significant risks. Companies invest in ways of securing energy supplies and decarbonising supply chains, as well as developing green products and services. Paul Dickinson, Carbon Disclore Project chief executive, said despite politicians’ Dickinson said, "Fuelled by opportunities to reduce energy costs, secure energy supply, protect the business from climate change risk and damaged reputation, generate revenue and remain competitive, carbon management continues to rise as a strategic priority for many businesses." However, only 48% of the firms said they had managed to integrate climate change and carbon management into their group business strategy, and only 19% revealed significant emissions reductions, despite the increasing level of commitment from the board. As a consequence, the Carbon Disclosure Project encourages firms to to develop more products and services which help customers cut carbon emissions, and to increase energy efficiency in operations. # # # Envido is the UK’s leading provider of energy, low-carbon and sustainability solutions for private and public sector organisations.
