- Resilience against future regulation – all states have net-zero by 2050 targets and Victoria just announced the interim target of 50% reduction by 2030
- Future-proof your organisation – carbon costs should be incorporated into all investment decisions
- Drive innovation – with a carbon target your organisation can be incentivised to find better ways to operate
- Save money – environmental charges are on the rise and this cost is passed through to you via your electricity retailer
- Gain investor/customer confidence – investors and customers are already asking questions about what companies are doing to reduce their carbon footprint. Can you afford to lose them?
It is clear that there will be a competitive advantage for those who are prepared for the transition to the low carbon economy.
