How is your business going to survive in a low carbon economy, and what does it really mean for you today?
With so many issues on the table, financial crisis, finite fossil fuels, rising energy bills, damaged environment, climate change - the drive towards creating a low carbon economy has picked up pace.
Increasing your customers are looking for ways to differentiate, consumers are now making decisions to choose goods and providers that are greener, leaner and environmentally sustainable. Unless your credentials are "advertised" customers are already buying elsewhere.
There are many financially viable options to help you tackle increasing fuel costs and climate change - one strategy to help drive your business forward is becoming a "carbon neutral" or "low carbon" organization.
We can help creating solutions strategies to met this challenge, saving you money, reducing pollution and simultaneously helping reduce your carbon footprint.
What is your Carbon Footprint?
Your carbon footprint is a term used to describe your total
annual carbon
consumption from your business activities. It is calculated based on
scientific audit principles and
identifies the
quantity of carbon used to operate your
business, and importantly offer the opportunity for solutions for
lower your carbon load.
Most businesses are carbon positive, that means they emit large quantity of carbon every year - Kelcroft develops solutions and strategies to lower your usage, and can help acquire offsets (purchase of real carbon credits) to balance that carbon emitted during your regular business activities.
The carbon footprint is based on scientific principles, where the equivalent impacts are calculated based on the energy usage, and hence the carbon created during operation of your home, office or factory.

Reducing Carbon
Obvious as it may sound lowering your energy consumption
lowers your
carbon load, and reduces the environmental impact - helping you create
a more
sustainable business. Kelcroft Carbon Audit identifies your direct and
indirect carbon load, and offers creative sustainable solutions to

Carbon Credits
Once your present carbon footprint is established the next stage is creating the right strategy to help reduce your footprint and or facilitates carbon offsets to bring your business to carbon neutral.
Prevention is better than the cure, reducing pollution impact before
it enters the environment, where the removal is difficult and the cost
of remedial works are significantly higher
Increasingly, energy efficient buildings also enhance your corporate
profile, indeed the growing pressure for corporate environmental
reporting, as a normal component of the annual report, will certainly
drive future occupancy rates.
With oil hovering around US$140 [1] per barrel, and no reduction in
sight,
energy charges will soon begin to dominate your balance sheet.
Customers and shareholders will be demanding improved performance -
P2E2 is just one opportunity helping to reduce expenditure.

In commercial buildings approximately forty percent (40%) of
the total
energy cost is consumed just to provide air-conditioning[1],
within hotels and some industrial facilities it is even higher. Eighty
six percent (86%) of the electricity generated in Hong Kong is used in
buildings - that's an opportunity to lower your
costs, reduce pollution and give your business a competitive edge.
