This document discusses carbon management response plans (CMRPs), which are tools for businesses to manage and reduce their carbon emissions. It explains that a CMRP addresses all aspects of a business that are relevant to carbon emissions. Developing a CMRP involves analyzing a business's operations, setting emissions reduction targets, and identifying actions to meet those targets. The CMRP should then be communicated throughout the business and used to track performance over time.
