Best Foot Forward

The spirit behind the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) legislation is laudable, but its introduction is baffling some UK organisations. The idea of legislation that not only puts a (low) price on carbon but also raises it to the board agenda through competitive public league tables is to be applauded. However, the piecemeal carbon legislative framework that we now have in the UK with the EU ETS, CCAs, and CCLs means the implementation of the new CRC risks causing additional confusion for environmental managers. As a result BFF is now advising more and more clients on CRC responsibilities, and on Thursday 4th June we are managing a high profile workshop covering practical examples of meeting CRC requirements, with extended reporting into a wider carbon management strategy. BFF has also developed our online carbon management tool called Footprinter™ to support CRC reporting.
