Handbook of Carbon Management

A Step-by-Step Guide to High-Impact Climate Solutions for Every Manager in Every Function

«

'Climate change is the existential issue of our age, but with many struggling for guidance this book is a useful and accessible guide to practical actions organisations can take around carbon literacy, reporting and projects to reduce their footprint'.

Andrew Jack, Global Education Editor, Financial Times

'A carbon constrained future is inevitable. For businesses it is a question of competitiveness and survival. This Handbook is a true treasure chest, providing guidance for how to go about it. A must read for executives and practitioners!'

Georg Kell, Founder and former Executive Director, the United Nations Global Compact; Chairman, Arabesque Partners

'This is a refreshingly practical handbook for the many leaders, at all levels, who want to put their organisations in greater service of people and planet – but who don’t know how. The clear focus on solutions rings loud'.

Paul Polman, Business leader, campaigner and co-author of Net Positive

'bold resource for contemporary business leaders, this specific yet thorough guide shows how every business can reduce its carbon emissions now and thrive on green energy in the long run'.

Rae André, Professor, Northeastern University D'Amore-McKim School of Business; author of Lead for the Planet: Five Practices for Confronting Climate Change

'Finally, a book I have been waiting for. Changing a company’s strategy and an individual’s mindset on transferring into a sustainable business and behaviour is a complex project. This book gives you well-structured guidelines and covers all required aspects for a considered approach. There is no Planet B – with this book you can get started'.

Marc Oliver Nissen, Director, LinkedIn Talent Solutions, Germany

'Governments, businesses, and universities don’t act, people do. The Handbook of Carbon Management empowers employees across industries to incorporate climate solutions in the way we live and work'.

Elena Crete, Head of Climate & Energy Program, UN SDSN

'Climate literacy, as illustrated in this book, has become critical knowledge not only for the leaders in organisations to drive the necessary change, but also for those affected by the change to understand the bigger picture, and therefore improve the likelihood of a successful transformation of the organisation'.

Joris-Johann Lenssen, Project Lead Business & Society, ZiviZ im Stifterverband (Berlin); Former Managing Director of ABIS – The Academy of Business in Society (Brussels)

'This book highlights the importance of effective communication when it comes to climate change, and how marketing is key to changing the course we are on. From educating and raising awareness to shaping new behaviours, both internally and externally, the skillsets of marketers cannot be underestimated'.

Gemma Butler, Marketing Director, CIM

'The Handbook of Carbon Management does an excellent job in arguing the case for the rapid reform that is so desperately needed if we are to respond successfully to the chronic and catastrophic climate collapse that is taking place all around us'.

Andy Agathangelou, Founder, Transparency Task Force

'The most frequent question I get asked in my work is not "Shall we act on climate?" but "What should we do?" Having such a comprehensive overview of the best actions that people and organisations can undertake is a really valuable addition to the resources we all need to tackle the climate crisis'.

Phil Korbel, Co-Founder & Director of Advocacy, Carbon Literacy Project

'If you think that climate change is too abstract for you to do anything about it, read this book. This handbook provides a rich resource of concrete inspiration about climate change and how anyone working in an organization can contribute. The book analyses the urgent need for all of us to act and it admirably guides us how to act. This is a book with a clear ambition to have societal impact'.

Dr Mette Morsing, Head of PRME Principles for Responsible Management Education, United Nations Global Compact

'This book is an excellent resource to raise awareness of carbon management. It is essential for all who teach or study any function of business and management, including accounting, banking and finance, supply chain management, marketing and communications, human resource management, strategy and leadership. It provides practical solutions for organisations and individuals to bring about true systemic change in carbon management'.

Professor Liz Crolley, Chair of QAA Review of Subject Benchmark Statements for Business and Management

'This handbook provides inspiration for current and future leaders with actionable steps they can take to implement climate solutions in their work. It is therefore invaluable not only for practitioners, but also students and researchers, potentially benefitting an organisation’s financial situation, as well as the environment'.

Stephen Snider, Sustainable Finance Lead, Oikos International

'Whether you’re new to Carbon Management or have experience in the area, this concisely written book offers you the overview and knowledge you need to take some concrete, practical steps towards reducing your organisation’s climate impact'.

Richard Holmes, MEI, MIEMA, C.Env., Carbon Management Consultant & Trainer

'This handbook is a must read for everybody who wants to tackle the climate crisis in their workplace. By taking us step by step through the thinking and action needed to embed solutions in strategy and operations, it helps to make sense of the complex, interrelated nature of the change at hand, so we can all turn ambition into impact'.

Gudrun Cartwright, Climate Action Director, BiTC

'This book provides a most useful resource and reference for anyone motivated to address the most pressing threat to the quality of life on our planet. It positively contributes to the process of change needed to generate the paradigm shift in human activity that is urgently required'.

Colin Crawford, CMLI Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute

'We are living at a time when a fast-growing part of humanity is realizing the havoc our current approaches deal on our livelihood – clients, consumers, investors, politicians, and employees alike. Urgently needed, this handbook provides practical advice on high impact climate solutions that any manager in any organisation can implement to avoid the worst and move towards a positive future'.

Klemens Höppner, CFA, CESFi, Co-Founder & Managing Director, Mindful Finance Institute

'The Handbook of Carbon Management is the book for any manager to get on the right track in reducing their organisation’s carbon impact with its simple and smart quick wins, contributing to a much-needed change from Day 1'.
