Client says:

RESET Carbon is helping us set goals to reduce our footprint globally and ensure we walk the talk. They make sure their clients understand the commercial and compliance sides of carbon reduction.

Alan VanderMolen, President of Edelman Asia-Pacific

Challenge:

The world’s largest independent PR company, Edelman’s global climate work has been led from a Hong Kong office that decided to ask RESET Carbon for support in preparing a corporate footprint for the Hong Kong business.

Solution

RESET Carbon prepared a corporate carbon footprint with analysis of key emissions areas, complete with recommended  next steps for carbon management and reduction. Due to the character of Edelman’s footprint, particular focus was placed on the potential benefits of staff engagement and international travel policies.  For reference purposes, we also provided a pre-rating using WWF Low Carbon Office Operation Programme (LOOP) assessment on the Edelman office performance. Satisfied with the team’s services, Edelman is now extending the Hong Kong approach to its business globally with RESET Carbon.
