Does my business need a Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emissions management strategy?
Global Warming has become a hot
environmental issue. "Going green" has become good business
practice. Increasingly, customers, agencies, and communities
expect businesses to be part of the solution, not the problem.
However, relatively few have accounted for GHG emissions.
Times are
changing. Agencies in the US have begun writing regulations
requiring businesses to reduce GHG emissions and / or purchase
offset credits. Ahead of such regulations as California's
AB32, voluntarily-reduced GHG emissions can be converted to
potentially valuable credits. Businesses will need a plan to
communicate their GHG emissions management strategy to
customers and the public.

proactive GHG emissions management strategy:
-
Understand the potential impact of developing GHG regulations
-
Evaluate sources and quantify direct and indirect GHG emissions
