Turning the climate change challenge
into a competitive edge
“The world will be moving to a low-carbon future, therefore companies that take the lead will meet with success in both business and in the eyes of society. Those who don't will be left behind.”
- Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, in the CERA Week Energy Conference, on 13 February 2008
Tailored and pragmatic solutions to climate change
Gaia offers an array of climate change services ranging from the evaluation and development of climate change strategies to the creation of practical Carbon Management Plans reducing the organisation’s emissions.
Our carbon management solutions are based on assessing the sources and amount of direct and indirect emissions, and identifying the most effective emission reduction measures. Where reduction measures are not possible, we advice our clients on carbon offsetting, and identify for them a credible and effective portfolio of projects through reputable carbon offsetting providers.
Gaia assists its clients also in solutions related to carbon trading, and evaluates and develops political and market-based instruments reducing CO2 emissions. Due to close contacts with the scientific community, national and international decision makers, and the civil society, we successfully advise our clients on the significance of the latest results of climate change research, the implications of upcoming national and international legislation, and weak signals on future trends.
Creating substantial value through climate change measures
We assist our clients not only to meet the legislative requirements related to climate change, but also to turn the climate change challenge into a competitive edge. For instance, our tailored Carbon Management Plans are effective tools to cut overall operating costs through optimal energy options and day-to-day practices saving CO2 emissions and money. Due to our techno-economic expertise in new technologies and understanding of the growing green market, we can also help companies to improve their market share through low-carbon products and practices. Our insight into upcoming legislation and trends helps us to advise our clients on the best proactive measures to meet future climate challenges, thus minimising future uncertainties and risks.
We have extensive experience in tailoring the most feasible and effective carbon emission reduction measures for each client. All solutions proposed and designed by Gaia are cost-effective and pragmatic, and aligned with the organisation’s current processes and long-term strategy. With Gaia, organisations can develop climate change measures that are an integrated part of their business strategy and enhance both their business performance and corporate responsibility.
International expertise and partnerships with leading clients
Gaia has assisted numerous private and public sector clients from all over the world in their climate change strategies and Carbon Management Planning. We are especially proud to have been the partner of the United Nations in developing their first Carbon Footprint Assessments and Mitigation Strategies.
Our climate change solutions are firmly based on the most recent scientific results and on extensive up-to-date knowledge of international climate policies and global markets. Our climate change experts work in a team with Gaia’s energy, risk and innovations experts, thus bringing a multi-disciplinary expertise for the benefit of the client.
