Why Corporate Sustainability is Important
Corporations bear a major responsibility in supporting sustainable business practices. Here’s why corporate sustainability is important.
Managing your company’s carbon footprint and reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions has become a focus activity for many organizations, either by choice or by regulatory requirement. Determining your company’s carbon footprint requires tracking certain types of emissions such as direct emissions from fuel combustion (boilers, company vehicles, etc.) and indirect emissions from purchased electricity and things like materials processing, waste management, and emissions produced by travel.
Depending on the industry and the type and amount of GHG emissions being produced, your company may also be required to submit reports to the government about those emissions. This can be really tedious, especially if converting things like kilowatt hours into Gigajoules isn’t really your thing.
