All business leaders, regardless of industry, must consider the impact of their operations on the environment. Be it climate change, sustainability or energy efficiency, the call to be conscious global citizens is paving the way for change.
Current and emerging legislation necessitates the need to implement effective systems and practices now, to ensure accurate reporting and disclosure as it becomes mandatory.
Recognition for companies that take active measures to reduce their carbon footprint has also opened up a new competitive arena. Businesses that do not factor carbon, energy and sustainable practices into their decision making will fall behind those that do.
USING DATA TO DRIVE DECISION MAKING
From the frontline to the boardroom, the non-financial data your organisation collects is the same data that can be leveraged to enable strategic decision making on energy and environment initiatives.
By effectively identifying and analysing certain datasets, your business can uncover:
- opportunities to improve
- potential for new initiatives
- eligibility for schemes, grants and rebates
Where you are required to meet targets and demonstrate compliance, integrated reporting frameworks provide assurance and help ease administrative burdens.
By engaging energy and environment experts, you eliminate the guesswork involved in readying your organisation, meeting compliance obligations, and improving your market advantage.
