CMA

The economic argument for organisations using innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions has never been stronger,

The results of the CMA Carbon Intent Project will be published a new report to be launched on 20^th April 2009.  The report also suggests recommendations to help organisations demonstrate a return on investment when adopting home working and teleconferencing as part of an ongoing strategy to lower their carbon emissions. 

Data from 85 organisations already using some or a combination of home-working (including remote call centres) and teleconferencing were analysed for potential carbon dioxide savings. The Project has been possible through a grant from the Carbon Trust and the project work was done by CMA's appointed sustainability consultancy, Hannover Consultancy.

Four public and private sector case studies-HSBC, the Immigration Advisory Service, Bristol City Council and Atkins-were also examined in depth. Summaries of the case studies will be made available at the Report's launch.
