Climate Change or Increased Profitability?

There is a lot of politics and controversy surrounding climate change, however as a business you don't need to concern yourself with this. All you need to focus on is: by managing your carbon emissions, you will increase your profitability and win you new business. Reducing your carbon emissions, means you are increasing your energy efficiency and therefore reducing your energy costs. Energy costs are one of the fastest growing and most unpredictable costs in your business, so why would you not want to manage and reduce them?

If you are dealing with the Public Sector you will be required to have a Carbon Policy, and you can use your green credentials in your marketing, thus differentiating your company from your competitors and winning more business.

There are also zero interest loans available, which are repaid using the savings made from the investment in energy saving products.

Yet there is very little interest from business owners to use energy and carbon management to increase the profitability of their company and win new business. WHY IS THIS?
