Hong Kong Carbon Audit

What is a Carbon Audit?
Your customers determine the positioning of your business and brand,
however increased social awareness now offers business a golden
opportunity to strengthen that perception of your business and your
brand.
A carbon audit is a systematic assessment of the carbon used in your
organisation, the scope may include direct and indirect consumption.
For example, if your business involves importing oversea products, the
accountable carbon is emitted where the products are made.
Consumers are smarter, and seek signals to differentiate between products,
and surveys constantly show that they prefer to do business with
environmentally smart companies. As firms that serve Europe know, they
already publish their carbon emissions for consumers.
Opting for a carbon audit gives you the chance to market to those
consumers, but also provides opportunities to lower operating costs
at the same.
What does a Carbon Footprint mean?
The carbon audit is a systematic review and scientific calculation
which provides the annual greenhouse gas (GHG), a measure of the
impact of your business in one metric.
Your total GHG emission in one year is also called your carbon
footprint.
What does Carbon Neutral mean?
After your carbon audit you will recieve the annual
greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, also sometimes called
your carbon footprint.
Some organisations opt to offset the environmental impact
of their GHG emissions, if the offset matches their total
emission, the organisation is said to be carbon neutral.
Sometimes an event organiser might choose to hold a
carbon neutral event, where the GHG boundary is limited
only to emissions related to the event.
Carbon Audit Standards
For a level playing field the Hong Kong Carbon Audit guideline
is used for carbon audit in Hong Kong. Therefore one may compare
the carbon emissions since they have the same basis (emission
factors being the most important metric).
