For purposes of this question, we are not going to include the revenue-side gains that come from 7 out of 10 consumers willing to move their business to a certified sustainable company, or the margin-side gains of being able to sell product at a higher price as a certified sustainable company, or the cost of money gains of being a certified sustainable company, or the hire/retention of employees gains of being a certified sustainable company…..

We are only going to look at expense-side levers, such as energy efficiency, circular design and supply chain localization.

With those parameters, what percentage of industrial emissions could be abated today with your company enjoying POSITIVE ROI from the project?

  1. 0%
  2. 10%
  3. 25%
  4. 50%

Per this article, the answer is C – 25%.

Let’s say that again – with no revenue-side contribution, your company could reduce its carbon emissions by 25% via positive ROI projects.

An additional 32% of emissions could be eliminated via programs that might deliver a positive ROI.

That’s over 50% of your carbon emissions before we even start adding the revenue-side benefits of becoming certified sustainable and having the world’s 23rd ranked website/blog helping you promote your certification to a sustainability-certification-starved global market.

This is change-the-world + improve-your-company kind of stuff that you can do….at a profit….if you want.
