Reducing carbon emission remains a key priority for any responsible business,<br />
despite the gaze of the media being squarely on the unstable global economic<br />
conditions of the past three years. Critically, with volatility in the price of oil<br />
and issues around the security of supply as oil producing nations are affected<br />
by significant civil unrest, organisations are beginning to understand that engaging<br />
in carbon reduction not only brings environmental benefits but reaps commercial<br />
rewards too.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, in our industry getting organisations to engage further on reducing carbon<br />
emissions, can present a significant challenge particularly as a result of the level<br />
and complexity of legislation, the minefield of information and pressure to achieve<br />
environmental standards, and a misalignment of objectives.
