Why should upper management understand the language and concepts of “carbon management”?
Corporate reporting has new categories requiring information on environmental impacts and corporate social responsibility. Clients, employees, and investors are attracted to organizations with a proven track record of environmental awareness, and in an increasingly competitve marketplace, “green-washing” won’t cut it. Furthermore, a carbon footprint is, to some extent, an indicator of your company or building’s energy use, and energy equals money. Corporate environmentalism means paying attention to the “triple bottom line”: coming in on or under budget, minimizing environmental impact, and being the kind of company that people want to work for and do business with.
