How a proactive approach to carbon legislation can improve business performance

Businesses face new and significant challenges, including changes in consumer buying behaviour as consumers are increasingly influenced by concern over climate change, plus forthcoming legislation aimed at reducing carbon emissions and moving the UK to a low carbon economy. Companies should recognise the implications of this new business environment and make changes before they are forced to through legislation. Indeed by being proactive they can turn the situation to their advantage.
