Corporate Sustainability
Stewardship Solutions can help you to introduce a programme of corporate sustainability that builds rapport with your customers, investors, employees and policy makers.
A corporate sustainability programme looks to:
- Green your company or organisation
- Reduce your environmental (and carbon) footprint
- Improve interaction with your employees and local community
Increasingly companies and organisations are being asked to embrace more environmentally and socially responsible ways of doing business.
Information gathering and consultation
An audit of your organisation will establish its environmental footprint and provide the base information to develop a strategy and a practical plan of action. Consultation with your major stakeholders will establish what changes they would like to see to improve your corporate social responsibility.
Implementing the plan of action
Common areas include: energy efficiency, waste minimisation, recycling, water efficiency, transportation and air emissions, training and supporting local community programmes.
Communicating
Telling your major stakeholders about your plans and your successes
Reporting
Both internally and externally on progress made implementing the plan of action
Continual improvement
Your strategy will set the goals and targets with realistic timeframes
Carbon footprint and the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZETS)
Stewardship Solutions can work with your businesses to assess your carbon footprint, reduce that footprint and where necessary look at options to offset carbon emissions.
Contact us to discuss your business sustainability needs.
A number of companies and organisations now measure their carbon footprint and look for ways to reduce and mitigate (offset) their footprint thereby achieve carbon neutrality.
Increasingly companies are being asked to disclose the carbon footprint of their product or service and those with a smaller footprint are expected to have a marketing advantage.
Reductions can be achieved by increasing energy efficiency, increased use of recycled content, reducing waste and increasing recycling, reducing transportation, changing procurement and shortening supply chains.
