How will being sustainable benefit my business?
There are lots of ways in which being more sustainable will help your business. It will help you become more efficient, improve your brand value and reputation, provide a platform for innovation, help attract and retain staff, achieve better growth, cut costs and strengthen stakeholder relations.
What is a materiality assessment?
A materiality assessment is an exercise in stakeholder engagement designed to gather insight in the relative importance of specific environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. The insight is most commonly used to inform sustainability reporting and communication strategies, but it also is valuable to strategic planning, operational management and capital investment decisions.
What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases produced by a particular human activity. It can be a broad measure applied to the actions of an individual, organization, community or entire nation.
What is a carbon offset?
A carbon offset is a credit for greenhouse gas reductions achieved by one party that can be purchased and used to compensate (offset) the emissions of another party. Carbon offsets are typically measured in tonnes of CO2-equivalents (or CO2e) and are bought and sold through a number of international brokers, online retailers and trading platforms.
