Why Managing Your Carbon Footprint Matters 
 Climate change is having such a dramatic impact on people's lives with wildfires and floods. Everyone is waking up to the evidence, but many are unsure about what they can do. However, as a business owner, you have a powerful weapon that you can use to make a difference. 
SMEs are the engine of private sector growth, and together, we can act as an army to combat climate change. In the UK, SMEs form 99.9% of businesses, so by playing our part, we can significantly impact carbon reduction.
All businesses need to be responsible for reducing their carbon footprint, which starts with measuring how much carbon your company is producing.

What Gets Measured Gets Done.
As a business owner, you know that what gets measured gets done, just like any other project in your company. Take, for example, the goal of analysing and reducing your expenses on materials. You would start by reviewing your current spending patterns and setting incremental targets for the future. Well, managing and reducing your carbon footprint is no different! Like any other reduction project in your business, carbon accounting follows the same approach.
By measuring and tracking your carbon emissions, you can identify areas for improvement and set achievable goals to reduce your environmental impact. It's all about taking a strategic and data-driven approach, just like any other project in your business. Your carbon reduction efforts are just as essential and can significantly impact your bottom line and the planet. So, why not apply the same proven approach to carbon accounting and make a positive difference?
