Cutting Carbon: Taking Control of your Emissions, Today
The pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is growing – and it’s not just coming from regulators. Clients, communities, and even your workforce are looking for businesses to take responsibility for their environmental impact. These topics were previously discussed in our CSR and ESG blogs. Emissions can pile up fast in many industries by merely conducting day-to-day operations, however small changes can make a big impact.
Where Do Your Carbon Emissions Really Come From?
Before you can cut GHG emissions, you need to know the cause. On any given site, common sources include:
- Diesel/Petrol powered machinery and vehicles
- Transportation of materials and equipment
- Waste production and practices for the disposal of said waste
- Water usage in the production process
Typically, emissions come from everyday operations. With process changes and personnel training, these can be improved rather effectively.
Calculating Emissions with FlexManager
It’s easy to have rough idea of your emissions, but estimating doesn’t cut it anymore. With regulatory bodies and directives relating to GHG emissions, having a tool to calculate emissions is essential.
The Emissions Calculator is a simple way for a business to monitor activities and automatically calculate the carbon you contribute to the environment. Knowing is the first step in reducing, which leads into the end-goal of having a “Win-Win” result of increasing a business’ bottom line, while improving the environment it inhabits.
This module provides in-depth analytics, live calculations, and provides alerts so your business can be aware of your emission usage to avoid any repercussions. By linking it with your CSR module, you can demonstrate your efforts to reduce the cabon effect of your activities.
Ready to Reduce? Translate Data into a Concrete Action Plan
With emissions data in your hand, the next moves are up to you. Here are some common changes that could aid you in your goal of cutting GHG emissions:
- Swapping older machinery for low-emission alternatives, or alternatives with lower fuel consumption
- Streamlining delivery and logistics to cut transport emissions
- Introducing site-wide waste reduction practices
- Engaging with on-site teams, creating processes that encourage them to have an energy-saving mindset
Remember that every Tonne counts!
Greenhouse gas emissions aren’t someone else’s problem – it is a communal responsibility. By having the right tools in place, cutting down on carbon becomes less of a challenge. Start with the calculations, track your progress, and strive to build a cleaner, smarter operation.
This blog focused on a topic relevant to the Emissions Calculator module, which is part of the Eco-Compliance solution. This is one of six core solutions that forms an all-in-one solution, providing organisations with a complete overview of their operations to ensure they achieve their compliance goals.
