1. Environmental Responsibility: Combat climate change by reducing carbon footprint and supporting sustainable projects like renewable energy and reforestation.
2. Regulatory Compliance: Meet legal requirements, such as cap-and-trade programs and prepare for and comply with future emissions reduction mandates.
3. Financial Incentives: Avoid penalties and generate revenue by selling excess carbon credits.
4. Reputational Benefits: Enhance brand image and attract environmentally conscious consumers.
5. Investor and Stakeholder Relations: Attract investment by demonstrating strong environmental practices and improving stakeholder relations and support by meeting climate change expectations.
6. Strategic and Operational Benefits: Manage risks associated with climate change and improve operational efficiency and cost savings through emissions reduction initiatives.
