A business may face more challenges and threats to its survival than it knows how to cope with. Recessionary pressures have caused an economic squeeze on operations like never before. Costs continue to rise, most notably tied to the all-important energy needs. While all this is going on, there are major calls for sustainability. It's easy to lose focus when it comes to environmental issues and it is estimated that as many as four of five companies just do not understand or are not willing to take action when it comes to the need to be sustainable.

Carbon emissions will be fully restricted as we enter the new world. Each organization has to take responsibility for the energy it uses due to its very existence. This energy emits carbon and these emissions have been shown to cause significant environmental damage. Enterprise carbon and energy management systems have been designed to help companies deal with this problem, enabling them to measure the size of a carbon footprint, the emission inventories and reductions necessary.

Every organization needs energy to function. When energy is used it emits carbon and such greenhouse gases have been proven to cause long-term environmental damage. As we move forward, every organization must therefore take responsibility for the energy it uses and the carbon emissions it produces. There will undoubtedly be financial repercussions, as well as societal backlash.

Before management can do anything, they must ensure that they have a complete stock of data, facts and figures are analysed within every aspect of operation. Without such data, it is impossible to gauge the size of the problem and to act. Individual assets, regardless of the company's overall size, must be scrutinized. Enterprise carbon and energy management systems are designed for this purpose and will gather all the information across different divisions and locations and provide management with the material to make informed decisions.

Senior management is hearing about the need for corporate sustainability reports, yet shortsightedly may be delegating this task to a public relations division. Such sustainability reports must be comprehensive and based on solid facts, as there are many watchdogs and consumer groups ready to call out an organization that does not approach this requirement correctly.

In the United Kingdom, parliamentarians have enacted tough legislation, which will effectively bring market-based approaches to bear on organizations as they purchase the rights to use energy. All eyes are certainly on this new scheme and its repercussions.

Pres. Obama has indicated his support for market based approaches to climate control. He has already forced federal agencies to begin the process through his executive order. Agencies will need to employ enterprise carbon and energy management systems as they strive to control their energy use and emissions and conform with his directive.

Companies are used to providing financial documents and executive summaries, which are widely distributed and reviewed. A corporate sustainability report will likely become a required document in its own right and will show how willing the company is to take responsibility for its carbon emissions.
