I hope companies are listening; this is a great message. I also hope that companies who want to make a change are leveraging it. The first step to reducing your footprint is to establish your baseline. Publishing a carbon report—and then tracking the results of your reduction efforts—on a public registry is also a great way to showcase your organization’s corporate social responsibility efforts. CSA just launched the GHG CleanStart™ Registry to help organizations measure, monitor and manage their carbon emissions. Check it out at http://www.csa.ca/carbonperformance.
