The Carbon Reduction Commitment presents a number of benefits to organisations that fall within the scheme.

Brand and Marketing

With the carbon reduction commitment league tables being published each year, the media will have full access to the performance information of all organisations that fall within the scheme. As such, the best performing organisations will benefit from recognition of their achievements.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Over time, organisations that make significant savings in the first few years will find it more and more difficult to achieve such high-level percentage savings on their carbon emissions. This could be considered as a negative aspect of the carbon reduction commitment scheme, as there will be less incentive for organisations to continue their commitment to reduce CO2. However, having reduced their carbon emissions, these organisations will enjoy long-term financial benefits from reduced energy costs.
