Carver Media Group Carbon Footprint
A New Look
08th September 2009 --
Carver Media Group carbon footprint statement.
Carver Media Group today announces that by 2017 it will
reduce its carbon footprint emissions by 50% against its
2007/8 baseline of 8935.44 tonnes. This target will be
achieved principally by improvements in energy
efficiency and increased use of renewable energy.
In addition, as part of its climate change strategy,
Carver Media Group will be focusing on developing
products and services which will help customers limit
their own emissions.
Elliot Carver, Chief Executive Officer commented: “This
is the right decision for a responsible business to
take, I believe if you want to achieve commercial
success on a sustainable basis, you need to conduct
business in a responsible way. It is good for the
environment but also makes sense for the business. It
resonates from a financial perspective as improving
energy efficiency helps us to control costs. It also
resonates with customers. This will help customers to
limit their own emissions and this is something they
value more and more.
We have reviewed the options, including carbon
off-setting, and have concluded that the most effective
strategy is to cut our CO2 emissions directly. There are
no simple solutions to what is a complex challenge, but
through operational changes and technological innovation
we will focus on improving energy efficiency in our
production, which account for 72% of our emissions
through the acquisition of more energy efficient
technology that will reduce energy costs and CO2
emissions for years to come.
We will use renewable energy when and where we can. We
hope that making this public commitment now will
encourage others to take similar action. I am pleased
that our printed One Strategy Review and our CR report
give a full picture of our progress against our
published objectives.”
Tom Delay, Chief Executive of The Carbon Trust, said:
“Taking early action on reducing carbon emissions offers
major opportunities for business as it brings reduction
in costs and boosts overall reputation. We also believe
it is what consumers expect and want to see from
businesses in the UK and abroad. More and more companies
are stepping up to the plate and making strong
commitments to cut their carbon emissions and today’s
announcement by Carver Media Group is very welcome and
is increasing evidence that business momentum is growing
on this critical issue, 2017 may sound a long way away,
but it is what Carver Media Group does over the next two
or three years which will determine whether or not they
hit that 50% target.”
