About Course

A: Through government policy reform, technological change and growing resource scarcity today’s highly competitive business environment is increasingly demanding organisations to effectively manage carbon emissions. A CMRP, or Carbon Management Response Plan, is a purpose built action plan for the management of carbon emissions across business operations. A CMRP is developed through a process of assessing the risks and opportunities internal and external to the business. From this assessment, targeted strategic responses are defined and implemented. It is through the effective use of a CMRP that a business is positioned to secure its long-term success. The rules of the game have changed and a CMRP is the organisational ‘how to win’ playbook. A CMRP is a living document that guides the decision making of an organisation with regard to its carbon emissions.
