For many businesses, calculating carbon emissions can be a crucial first step towards sustainability. As company leaders work to implement eco-friendly practices, it is beneficial to not only calculate, but to keep track of emissions to help both operations and the environment. Here are just a few ways emissions tracking can be used to drive company-wide change.
Promote Environmental Mindfulness
Having a set number of total emissions produced can create a tangible goal that allows businesses to know exactly what their working to eliminate. As sustainable changes are made, leaders and employees can feel accomplished and proud as they see that number decrease. This awareness can even encourage companies to invite similar players in their industry to take action.
Troubleshoot and Improve Efficiency
Sometimes when assessing a business model, areas of excess emissions are indicators that operations are not working as efficiently as they should be. By tracking emissions, companies can see where they may be producing more emissions than normal. From there, companies can improve their process, and Guttman Renewables’ sustainable solutions can help them to generate less emissions and potentially run more cost-effectively.
Make a Difference with Carbon Offsets
As companies increase their sustainability, they often reach a point where they realize there are emissions that simply can’t be decreased by process changes. When this happens, organizations like Guttman Renewables help them purchase carbon offsets to negate their extra energy use. Many like to calculate their emissions so they can stay on top of just how much needs to be offset, and how much money they are putting towards the initiative. This is a smart way to take control of their offsets while still being able to rely on Guttman Renewables to do the heavy lifting.
