The imposition of binding greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets at UK, EU and, ultimately, international level will significantly affect all business sectors.

Early adopters will have already taken early action to understand and react to their growing regulatory risk exposure with appropriate strategies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions will have a significant advantage over their competitors. Other benefits from early voluntary action include enhancement of corporate reputation, market leadership and the ability to better understand and influence the development of future legislative and policy measures, as well as reduced operational costs.

Our low carbon energy team:

  • was established to help major international, European and national companies prepare for the inevitable move towards a low carbon international economy and gain competitive advantage by exploiting the opportunities this will deliver; and
  • recognises that the effect on our clients of international, EU and national measures designed to tackle climate change requires a global, integrated approach, not least because of the diversity of existing and proposed measures, in terms of both the objectives to be achieved and the sectors they are targeted at.
