How We Can Help

 
 
 
 
 

The impact of the OFR will be substantial. Directors will have to show that they are managing current environmental risks, measuring them with the best key performance indicators, and aware of the likely future impacts on their business.

Our expertise in helping businesses understand, measure, and reduce their environmental risks related to carbon emissions is extensive. We are leading advisers on carbon management issues, and are leaders in analysis and understanding of the business issues around climate change mitigation. We can provide a strategic and tailored overview of managing and reducing carbon emissions, within the context of working with complex regulatory structures while understanding the importance of good environmental practice to corporate reputation.

Case Studies

BAA – we have worked to refine the carbon strategy of the UK's biggest airport operator with internal stakeholders. Carbon management has become imperative for BAA in the light of EU regulatory changes and an overall objective to reduce emissions by 15% between the 1990 baseline and 2010. Cumulative cost savings of some £11 million through energy and carbon reduction opportunities look possible and the company also wants to maintain its reputation for corporate social responsibility and customer brand value.

Cadbury's – we conducted an initial review of energy efficiency as part of the company's commitment to reducing its carbon emissions by 10% within the next 10 years. £90,000-worth of potential savings were identified and the 10% target was met as a direct result of the project.

Boots – this leading retailer's interest in carbon management is driven by a sound business case, the need to keep up-to-date with a complex regulatory world, and the increasing importance of environmental responsibility to consumers and stakeholders. A 5-10m year carbon strategy delivering some £1-2million of savings is being put in place with our help.
