ecopath Practice Areas
Our ecopath service allows you to outsource your environmental management, policy and regulatory concerns, just as you can do with other specialised business functions. Our breadth and depth of experience provides a bespoke, comprehensive service working across your business and environmental practice areas.
Carbon Management
We will show you how to quickly achieve significant reductions in your carbon footprint and design energy saving into your long term cost reduction strategy. Drawing on our extensive experience, this will reach into all areas of your business, leading with low carbon opportunities, and continuing to effect change in transport, energy usage, energy sourcing, behaviour and corporate policy. Typical savings in this area are 4%-10% of annual energy spend, per intervention round.
Supply Chain Management
Managing the costs and environmental aspects of your supply chain will have a positive impact on productivity and environmental performance. We will help you to influence your suppliers to improve their eco-footprint, helping them drive down costs and improve your own footprint. Typical savings in this area are 1%-10% of supply chain costs.
Resource Efficiency
We’ll develop a resource efficiency plan that shows you how sustainability can penetrate every area of your business, bringing substantial cost savings through an agreed programme of practical resource savings and staff behavioural change initiatives. Typical savings in this area are 2%-20% of resource costs.
Carbon Trading
Not only will we help ensure that you stay legal, we will also help you to minimise risks and maximise opportunities from your emissions profile, whether that’s through the Carbon Reduction Commitment or the EU Emissions Trading Scheme Phases II/III.
Low Carbon Business Opportunities
Central to your Carbon Management Plan, we’ll first identify the quick wins you can achieve in the first months of your business transformation. In the medium term, we will develop a carbon abatement cost curve that can be used to prioritise your future investment strategy. And we’ll help to ensure that your environment related business investments generate returns for you, rather than turning out to be disappointing white elephants.
Corporate Sustainability Strategy
This will help to maximise the benefits of your environmental improvements throughout all the areas and functions of you business. Showing you how to take advantage of your advances not only through cost savings, but also by improving your brands, your products and your people’s sense of the value of their work.
Regulatory Strategy
As Europe’s leading consultancy on environmental regulations, we will use our knowledge to assess the immediate impact on your business from regulation. We will also provide horizon scanning to assess your medium and long term opportunities and threats.
Ecofinance
Whether its through due diligence on current finance plans, assisting with the reporting of emissions, or finding investment opportunities like getting on to the FTSE4Good Indices and taking part in UNFCCC JI/CDM projects, we’ll ensure you are ready to take advantage of environmental investment opportunities. And we’ll give you the audited backing to help get eco-investors involved in your business.
