Communicating organizational carbon footprint Internal communication Communicating organizational carbon footprint to employees can help engage them in the process of carbon reduction and energy management. If employees are asked to save energy, it is important to show them what difference they are making to the organization’s emissions and the environment in general. The data collected may also help employees identify efficiencies in existing processes and practices. External communication The organizational carbon footprint is communicated externally as part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) report to demonstrate the concerns the business is having on the environment. For business-to-business organisations, many businesses may require suppliers to report emissions or atleast demonstrate green credentials. A published and certified carbon footprint is a credible way of demonstrating this, particularly if it includes a carbon reduction plan, and can provide a company with a competitive edge. For business-to customer organisations, consumers are increasingly taking environmental issues into account and publishing carbon footprints is a good way to give the customer confidence in the organization.
