As we witness every day here at CarbonNow, SMEs are increasingly seeing the need to understand, measure and manage their impact on the environment.
They are also feeling the pressure from customers and suppliers who are demanding that business partners are clearly working to reduce emissions and lessen their impact on our environment.
Carbon reduction is becoming an essential part of all good business planning. Lowering emissions is now a key metric of business success. And a key way of staying ahead.
Everyone who runs a business needs to consider the ways in which their business can help tackle climate change and start to act to reduce their emissions today.
Reducing the amount of energy that a business uses leads to a lower carbon footprint with less carbon emissions.
And here is a plus side to all this, of course. When a business reduces its emissions it’s not only good for the environment it also offers some immediate wins as well.
Here are 12 great reasons to cut your carbon emissions:
Reduced energy bills - especially important as energy prices continue to rise so rapidly
Improved cash flow - always important for business, especially in these inflationary times
Increased profitability - what business doesn't want greater profitability?!
Increased competitiveness - cutting carbon now is a way of staying ahead of the competition
Improved green credentials - increasingly a key part of finding and retaining clients
Reduced exposure to future energy price rises
Attracting and retaining the quality staff
Increased productivity and other efficiencies
Ability to win new contracts, especially with the public sector where many organisations are committed to green procurement because of their own carbon reduction goals
A more comfortable working environment
Improvements to air quality
Contributing to a reduced carbon footprint for the whole community to which your business belongs
