The Cost of Carbon

Welcome to the first part of the October video series, Recognizing Risks, Identifying Opportunities – Succeeding in the Green Marketplace. Today’s installment focuses on The Cost of Carbon, and explores the ways in which your carbon emissions could impact your organization’s bottom line. I also explain how to calculate a carbon footprint so you can recognize risks to your organization, as well as identify opportunities for improvement and cost savings.

Beyond addressing the eminent risk of carbon taxes, carbon footprinting requires you to take a comprehensive look at your operations. This provides a new perspective that can shed light on energy intensive processes that can be upgraded, altered, or removed to reduce both carbon emissions and fuel and energy costs. As fuel and utility prices are expected to fluctuate and rise in the future, having a grasp of your organization’s energy demands provides the needed insight to make more informed decisions and ensure long-term viability.

I hope you enjoy the video and are looking forward to next week’s topic, Navigating Supply Chain Demands. If you have further questions, register for my webinar on October 29th, where you’ll have the opportunity to interact directly with me, or comment below. The webinar will expand on these topics and will cover strategies to reduce carbon emissions.
