4. Sustainability for your Company
According to the EPA website:
Sustainability is based upon a simple
principle: Everything that we need
for our survival and well-being depends,
either directly or indirectly, on our natural
environment. Sustainability creates and
maintains the conditions under which
humans and nature can exist in productive
harmony, that permit fulfilling the social,
economic, and other requirements of
present and future generations.
Sustainability is important to making sure
that we have and will continue to have the
water, materials, and resources to protect
human health and our environment.
Corporate Sustainability focuses on
the business being socially responsible
to the planet and it’s stakeholders.
Corporate Sustainability focuses on both
environmental and social issues that
affect society. Human rights within an
organization is also an important part of a
socially responsible company.
5th Sun EMS Consulting Group LLC helps
corporations to become environmentally
and socially responsible elements within a
society. This is done by analyzing the needs
of a corporation and developing a plan for
the company to implement. Even after the
research and plan has been presented to the
company, 5th Sun will continue to help the
company in every step that is necessary for
the company’s sustainable success.
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Regulations
In today’s business environment, companies are under growing pressure to comply with
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) regulations.
Increasingly, they are looking for an integrated approach to these issues to keep their
compliance costs low, avoid potential litigation and even to protect their corporate image.
The main aim of HSE Management is to reduce a company’s risk of litigation. This is achieved
by making sure the company complies with relevant regulations and by helping reduce the
number of accidents occurring in the workplace.
To facilitate the process for clients, 5th Sun EMS Consulting Group LLC constantly monitors
changes to the Law and carries out detailed assessments to check compliance. The best
examples of good practice are noted, and used as benchmarks for other sites that need
improvement in this domain.
5. Carbon Footprint
A carbon footprint is defined as:
The total amount of greenhouse
gases produced to directly and
indirectly support human activities, usually
expressed in equivalent tons of carbon
dioxide (CO2).
In other words: When you drive a car, the
engine burns fuel which creates a certain
amount of CO2, depending on its fuel
consumption and the driving distance. (CO2
is the chemical symbol for carbon dioxide).
When you heat your house with oil, gas or
coal, then you also generate CO2. Even if
you heat your house with electricity, the
generation of the electrical power may
also have emitted a certain amount of
CO2. When you buy food and goods, the
production of the food and goods also
emitted some quantities of CO2.
Your carbon footprint is the sum of all
emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide), which
were induced by your activities in a given
time frame. Usually a carbon footprint is
calculated for the time period of a year.
Triple Bottom Line
Measuring sustainability became possible by encompassing a new framework
to measure performance in corporate America and the rest of the world. This
accounting framework, called the triple bottom line (TBL), went beyond the
traditional measures of profits, return on investment, and shareholder value to include
environmental and social dimensions. By focusing on comprehensive investment results—
that is, with respect to performance along the interrelated dimensions of profits, people and
the planet—triple bottom line reporting can be an important tool to support sustainability
goals.
Interest in triple bottom line accounting has been growing across for-profit, nonprofit and
government sectors. Many businesses and nonprofit organizations have adopted the TBL
sustainability framework to evaluate their performance, and a similar approach has gained
currency with governments at the federal, state and local levels.
6. Greenhouse Gases Emissions and Global Warming
Greenhouse Gas Emissions are those greenhouse gases that allow sunlight to enter
the atmosphere freely and contribute to the greenhouse effect, which many believe
is the cause of global warming. There are natural and man-made greenhouse gas
emissions. The primary greenhouse gases thought to be major contributors to global
warming are; carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), methane & biomethane emissions (CH 4),
chlorofluorocarbons, and nitrogen oxides (N2O). Not included, but should be included
according to some climate scientists is water vapor.
The primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions from man-made sources include;
fossil-fueled power plants such as natural gas power plants and coal fired power plants.
Other sources of greenhouse gas emissions linked to man-made causes include internal
combustion engines (fueled by gasoline and petroleum diesel) and deforestation.
