What is carbon management ? Carbon management is a systematic, organisation-wide approach to reducing carbon emissions, integrating the technical, regulatory, financial, corporate governance and communications aspects within an overarching strategy and plan of action. Its principal aim is to help a client adapt to an increasingly carbon-constrained economy. An effective carbon management approach will seek to define and maximise strategic opportunities as well as develop a tactical plan to limit liabilities. Carbon Management is a five-step process with impacts at all levels throughout an organisation. As it is a largely strategic process, strong leadership from senior management is essential. | Carbon management programme Reducing energy consumption and associated costs, addressing many of the issues identified in the preceding sections Reducing CO2 emissions associated with other sources such as transport, staff travel, process emissions and refrigerants Mitigation of the future cost of climate change legislation Development of a comprehensive carbon management strategy incorporating renewables, green purchasing, off-setting, emissions trading, etc as appropriate
