Carbon Intent Project Presentation

CMA Event

Carbon Intent

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 20th 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.
