With COP26 looming, larger organisations are looking to get their own house in order. This means supply chains are coming under increasing scrutiny. Now is the time to make sure you’re aware of the aspects and impacts affecting your business. Ensure you’re able to promote and quantify your own carbon footprint. Then outline how you’re improving it with your Environmental Management System.
How can an Environmental Management System help you?
If you’re a manufacturer, it will help you look at the lifecycle analysis of a product.
As a contractor it will help you calculate the differences in generator use on site.
If you’re an architect looking at the embedded carbon of various build designs.
If it hasn’t already come up in your tender or spec discussions yet, it soon will!
Learning outcomes:
- Find support to benchmark your current carbon footprint.
- Gain an understanding of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and what that might mean for you.
- Understand what funding and supply chain help is available from Low Carbon Kent.
- Learn more about Low Carbon Kent’s fully-funded STEM workshop series.
