Business Drivers Impacting Establishment and Implementation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions Goals
A Survey of Organizations in the Public and Private Sectors

As organizations address climate change risks and opportunities many have turned to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management as a tool for understanding and addressing aspects of the issue as they pertain to their operations. Many organizations have publicly committed to reducing their GHG emissions by leveraging strategies incorporating energy efficiency, renewable energy, employee engagement and behavior change, and process improvement; such goals are now widely used in a variety of corporations, universities, and government entities.

Although GHG emissions reduction goals are being undertaken by many organizations, it is not immediately clear what drives the efforts in the absence of a regulatory or executive mandate. In order to learn more about drivers and challenges affecting these activities, ACCO issued a survey to a group of climate professionals across sectors in Spring 2013 to identify the factors that were driving organizations to pursue GHG emissions reduction goals.

The report provides findings and trends related to drivers affecting organizations based on the nature of their reduction goals, role of the GHG managers within the organization, sector of the organization and challenges they are facing.
