Carbon Management
The consequences of climate change and the
need to reduce carbon emissions are critical issues for business
today. Most companies acknowledge that climate change will have
some impact on their business. However, the extent and scope of
this is often not fully understood or quantified.
The risks include:
- Increased energy prices, which are expected to increase
significantly over the next few years
- Legislation from UK and Europe as governments attempt to manage
the climate change agenda
- Investor and consumer pressures as stakeholders choose to
invest in and buy from environmentally conscious companies
- Loss of business and increased insurance premiums due to
extreme weather patterns
Scott Wilson is now accredited by the UK
Government-backed Carbon Trust to help larger organisations
understand and manage the impact of climate change. Through
delivering Carbon Trust’s Carbon Management services, it provides a
systematic approach to managing the risks and realising the
opportunities that climate change presents. It goes beyond energy
management, enabling organisations to consider both their
operations and their revenue in the context of climate change. The
results are cost savings, clarity around responses to legislation,
operational improvements, corporate reputation and brand
enhancement.
Scott Wilson provides a unique fusion of engineering and
environmental understanding and expertise in several core sectors,
from the construction and transport sectors, through to finance and
retail. Scott Wilson often has multiple links across its business
to many leading corporate organisations that can all be tapped to
help provide robust, holistic solutions that reduce carbon
emissions and help accelerate their transition to a rewarding,
sustainable and ‘low carbon’ future.
It has appointed staff who have been involved previously with the
delivery of 18 organisational carbon management projects in London
and the SE of England.
