What is CarbonOmics®?

CarbonOmics is a new analytical and reporting tool developed jointly by the Olive and Clouds environmental consultancies. This comprehensive sustainability and carbon management package provides senior executives with a co-ordinated and easily understood report on their organisation's sustainability risks and opportunities. This informs the executive in a user-friendly way and enables them to prioritise appropriate activity. The outputs and recommendations are business case focused.

CarbonOmics also provides appropriate information to meet sustainable procurement standards, including providing an organisation's, process's or product's carbon footprint . By being management facing it overcomes the typical corporate knowledge gap and delivers appropriate information to enable effective decision making in an otherwise little understood but increasingly important area.

CarbonOmics is the most complete product available that enables management to understand how the growing pressure to achieve sustainability affects their business, supply chain and market. It focuses on the information needed both to control risks and add value to the organisation, including its brand and marketing strategies.

Typically, a CarbonOmics review will identify savings in energy and waste management worth in excess of 1% of turnover, often achieving a profit uplift of 10% or more, depending on margins. There are significant “non-financial” benefits to be gained too, such as legal compliance, improved stakeholder engagement, and opportunities to capitalise on environmental best practice.
