 Opportunities exist for businesses of all sizes, and across all sectors to reduce their emissions, and businesses are finding that there is a strong business case for managing their emissions, including cost savings, brand enhancement and other types of competitive advantage.
Following reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (a
UN scientific body tasked to evaluate the risk of human-induced climate
change), as well as international media interest, the world has woken
up to the reality of climate change, and there is increasing pressure
on governments, individuals and businesses to take action to address it.
For example, South Africa is currently the 14th largest greenhouse gas emitter
in the world, a reflection both on the country’s heavy reliance on coal
and on a high level of energy inefficiency. This, combined with
escalating electricity prices, is driving a growing number of
businesses to take action by implementing energy and carbon management
as a key focus area. Such action usually results in improved
organisational efficiency and significant cost savings. Global Carbon
Exchange (GCX), a carbon and energy-efficiency consultancy, assists
companies with determining their carbon footprint, implementing energy
audits and with the development of an effective end-to-end carbon and
energy management plan.
"The scientific evidence is now overwhelming. Climate change
presents very serious global risks, and it demands an urgent global
response." - The Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, HM
Treasury, UK Government, 2007
