Greenhouse Gas/Carbon Management

Greenhouse Gas and Carbon Management

Facing market and regional regulatory pressures to use energy more efficiently and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, companies are actively seeking to define their carbon footprint, set reduction goals that consider mitigation and offset strategies, and develop data management systems for future compliance purposes.

Drawing on our expertise in economics, management consulting, science, communications, and environmental management, Cadmus approaches our clients’ GHG management needs in an integrated fashion to assist them in understanding the rapidly changing regulatory landscape and in developing transformative business strategies. We offer expertise in:

Mitigation and Offsets: Developing and adapting mitigation and offset strategies that serve to increase efficiency, optimize resource utilization, ensure societal benefits, and identify appropriate offset investments.
Stakeholder Management and Communication: Providing assistance in communications and outreach programs to effectively convey the alignment of the carbon and sustainability management initiative to match stakeholder concerns.
