The carbon management strategic priority

Taken from: Carbon Disclosure Protect

Carbon management is moving up the corporate agenda and many companies now understand the need to handle their emissions. But should carbon management be considered a strategic priority? That is the central question with which a recent report from the Carbon Disclosure Project and produced by Verdantix is concerned.

Carbon management is being propelled to the forefront of business across multiple sectors through a number of market drivers, including energy costs, the growing cost of carbon, brand reputation, energy supply risks, employee expectations, investor requests and competitive positioning. With firms expecting the impact of these drivers to grow over the next five to ten years, carbon management is increasingly being added to their long term priority checklists.

This report explores companies perception of carbon management and helps evidence the case that carbon management is a growing strategic issue.
