  1. Resilience against future regulation<\/strong>\u00a0– all states have\u00a0net-zero by 2050 targets<\/a>\u00a0and Victoria just announced the interim target of 50% reduction by 2030<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Future-proof your organisation<\/strong> – carbon costs should be incorporated into all investment decisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Drive innovation<\/strong> – with a carbon target your organisation can be incentivised to find better ways to operate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Save money<\/strong> – environmental charges are on the rise and this cost is passed through to you via your electricity retailer<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Gain investor\/customer confidence<\/strong> – investors and customers are already asking questions about what companies are doing to reduce their carbon footprint. Can you afford to lose them?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It is clear that there will be a competitive advantage for those who are prepared for the transition to the low carbon economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
