Carbon Neutral Status To Rival BEE
Companies could soon see their carbon neutral status become a more important criteria than their Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) rating when tendering for business. This is according to Gianmarco Lorenzi, CEO of Cape Town-based Cleardata - the first document destruction company in South Africa to achieve carbon neutral status.
Lorenzi believes that while environmental issues may have taken a slight back-seat to the current economic crisis, the issue of greenhouse gas emissions and its effect on climate change should be the most important long-term strategic challenge for South African businesses.
