ECR Europe Forum '08. How to reduce your carbon footprintECR Community
How to reduce your carbon footprint
Most retailers and manufacturers are seeking to reduce their carbon footprint either to combat climate change or in response to escalating energy prices. This session will consider what the industry has learned so far and the scale of the challenge ahead. It will discuss how to measure carbon and how companies can work together to drive reductions. It will provide practical examples of businesses that have reduced their carbon footprint and consider longer term implications of the drive towards a low carbon economy.
Speakers: Euan Murray, Carbon Trust; Jon Woolven, IGD; Jon Wright, Innocent Drinks.
Facilitated by IGD.

Low Carbon Future The Rise Of Green MarketingDan Austin
Synopsis of the need for carbon responsibility among consumers and corporations, how to establish goals and appropriate culture and an action plan from the business and communications standpoints.
The global demand for achieving the net zero emission target by 2050 has pushed governments all over to adapt and adopt advanced carbon removal technologies to go carbon negative.
It is, indeed, an important topic of discussion, because a carbon free environment is the need of the hour to save our planet. And, therefore, BIS Research is glad to announce its upcoming webinar on this particular subject.
Agenda:
The main agenda of this webinar is to understand and explore the following:
• Primary sources of carbon emissions and associated environmental issues
• Carbon dioxide removal – key technology and adoption scenario
• Carbon dioxide removal (CDR): trends and key market developments
• Carbon dioxide removal as a credible solution
• Conclusion and future outlook
This is a presentation I gave on 23 March 2011 to a cluster of companies ranging from manufacturers, a race course company, councils, an electricity provider, to a lawyer and accountancy practice. It talks about how to achieve carbon neutrality and the different offsets one can buy. Key messages are that carbon neutrality is not for everyone, that you have to define your boundaries clearly and be transparent about them, and that you should only buy reputable offsets. Throughout the presentation I make it clear that the focus should be on carbon MANAGEMENT; it is always better to avoid and reduce carbon emissions first before offsets are bought.
A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide—released into the atmosphere by a particular human activity. A carbon footprint can be a broad meaasure or be applied to the actions of an individual, a family, an event, an organization, or even an entire nation.
"Exploring the Economics of Carbon Credits: Costs, Benefits, and Market Trends"greengeneindore
In the fight against global warming, carbon credits have become crucial in the economic toolbox. These credits are traded on the international market and show a measurable decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. Examining the economics of carbon credits reveals a complicated relationship between expenses, advantages, and changing consumer preferences.
The idea of carbon pricing is at the center of the carbon credit concept. Carbon credits provide each ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions with a price tag, that encourages both individuals and companies to lessen their carbon footprint. This method of incentives functions via both voluntary marketplaces and regulatory systems.
The initial investment needed to put emission reduction schemes into action is one of the main expenses related to carbon credits. These projects, which can include installing carbon capture devices, energy efficiency measures, or renewable energy systems, can have high upfront expenditures. On the other hand, these investments may pay off in the long run by lowering operating costs, improving brand recognition, and opening up new markets.
Furthermore, carbon credits offer advantages that go beyond simple environmental benefits. They also stimulate investment in sustainable technology and innovation, which helps to build a low-carbon economy. Businesses can also profit from carbon credits by selling the extra credits they receive from reducing their emissions.
The carbon credit market has seen several significant changes and movements recently. One such development is the rising popularity of voluntary carbon offsetting, fueled by consumer demand for eco-friendly goods and services and corporate sustainability programs. Due to the increase in demand, platforms and certification standards that make it easier to trade voluntary credits are emerging.
The dynamics of the carbon credit market are also being shaped by regulatory developments, such as the introduction of cap-and-trade programs and carbon pricing schemes. By attaching a cost to carbon emissions, these laws encourage businesses to invest in greener technologies and emission-target-compliant methods.
In conclusion, examining the economics of carbon credits highlights their significance as a key tool in the battle against climate change. The advantages they provide in terms of environmental management, economic growth, and market prospects make them an appealing instrument for achieving sustainability goals, even though they have costs associated with investment and compliance.
Every business that pollutes the environment excessively needs carbon credits, and greenGENE plays an important role in this regard. It is an organization that encourages people to plant and care for trees. To help with this cause, greenGENE provides a QR code that you can use to maintain information about your trees and act accordingly. The organization also rewards those who plant a tree or support the campaign in any form.
