[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Step 3 | Act” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Taking action to reduce the carbon impact of your organisation can bring a host of benefits including financial savings, enhanced reputation and moral benefits.

We can support you with the process of setting a carbon reduction target, net zero goal and developing a carbon reduction strategy.

Once you have evidence that you have implemented reduction initiatives (that have resulted in a reduction of at least 10% of your scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint, on an intensity metric basis), you will be provided with your “SmartCarbonTM Level 3: Acted” logo (e.g. for you to add to your email footer, website or marketing materials).

You can implement your own initiatives, or we can provide support.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Ways to Set a Carbon Management Plan or Develop a Carbon (CO2e) Reduction Strategy” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1619447223367{padding-left: 20px !important;}”]
