Defining your carbon strategy
 
EcoSecurities has over ten years’ experience working with organisations to both create and implement carbon management strategies.
 
An effective climate change strategy can help organisations deal with the inevitable risks related to this important issue. Importantly, there are many benefits of having a robust carbon management strategy:
  • Cost savings: 
    Actions to reduce emissions often involve improved efficiency, thereby reducing energy costs.
  • Differentiation:
      With increasing competition, addressing the environmental impact of your products/services can provide a powerful means of differentiation in a crowded market-place.
  • Recognition:
      Increased public awareness of climate change, combined with increased expectations of high Corporate Social Responsibility standards, will lead to your company being recognised as a leader in this regard.
  • Limiting liabilities:
      Impending regulation of GHG emissions may mean that you will face future liabilities, but having a climate change strategy in place to address such risks will minimise your liabilities in the future.
 EcoSecurities takes a customised approach to developing a carbon management strategy that reflects a company’s goals, stakeholder expectations, and risk/opportunity profile. We have worked with companies of all sizes and from all parts of the world to develop and implement various carbon management strategies.

Over the years we have learned that, regardless of which type of category your business falls into, there are some fundamental rules companies should consider when developing a carbon strategy. Click here to read more...
 
  
 
 
 
Assessing your carbon footprint


A GHG footprint is often the first step on the way towards broader carbon management and mitigation strategies.


By giving a company more precise information on the volume of emissions and their sources, a GHG footprint facilitates strategic decision-making. For example, corporate GHG footprints can set the stage for identifying emission reduction opportunities or establish a baseline against which to measure GHG emissions reduction commitments.

Depending on a company’s specific situation we offer a suite of three footprinting products, ranging from an entry-level fixed-fee Small-Scale Corporate or Event Footprint to highly customised corporate and product footprints.
 
  
 
 
 
Reducing your emissions


Taking steps to reduce your internal carbon footprint can provide multiple benefits: 
  • Some measures are very low cost and can save your company money in the long-term.
  • Active steps to reduce internal emissions can help forestall less cost-effective regulatory measures.
  • Reducing your operational emissions shows your employees, customers, investors and stakeholders that you are serious about reducing your environmental impact.
It is important to consider that reducing emissions at source is not simple and generally does not produce immediate results. On the one hand, reducing emissions requires careful analysis to select the most cost-effective options and to decide the order in which they are carried out, not to mention finding the resources to make the capital investments. On the other hand, the process for reducing emissions is a lengthy process that can take several years.

EcoSecurities can identify the main sources of your company's carbon emissions and offer a range of opportunities for reducing your carbon footprint in the context of your business strategy and operational profile – including energy sourcing, travel, supply chain logistics and procurement.
