However, according to Businessweek, there are more great reasons to start reducing CO2 emissions – right now!
Reducing CO2 emissions will save companies money immediately. Take for example your fleet: how much of the total costs of this fleet are spent on fuel? Or what about the energy bill: what do you think will happen if you actually shut down all appliances that are not needed at a certain period of time? Saving energy equals saving money, and this can be done at this very moment.
Besides the immediate money saving aspect, reducing CO2 emissions will also save money in the future. Many of the more expensive measures that can be taken to help your company ‘going green’, are rather expensive. Therefore, the government offers all kinds of subsidies, which makes them more affordable, and keeps your costs lower. Investing in green technologies will also help reducing your risks, since you are not – solely – depending on resources such as oil and gas.
Any company interested in saving money and ‘going green’, should start with their greatest source of CO2 emissions, which is often the company fleet. With for example C-Track Fleet Reporting, one can create a great overview of the usage of this fleet. Driving and idling times, jobs per day, fuel usage and mileage: all important factors are included in this reporting package. Are you ready to convert your analysis into real action?
