As part of their growth programme, Carbon Footprint is now represented in Ireland by Robert Vervoort of Trade and Business Consulting Ltd., the highly regarded management consultant and business man, who is a member of the Institute for Independent Business.

Said John Buckley, UK MD of Carbon Footprint
“ We are delighted that Robert has joined us to be able to serve clients directly in Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland. With new emissions taxes & high energy prices, there has never been so much pressure – from financial, legislation and market perspectives - for businesses in Ireland to take proactive steps to manage their environmental impact to boost the bottom line & stay competitive.”
 
Typically businesses waste around 30% of all energy used – which is a huge & unnecessary burden on operational budgets, already stretched to the limit in these current challenging economic conditions.
 
Robert Vervoort added
 
“Carbon Footprint is ISO14001 accredited & has an excellent track record of delivering cost saving insights to businesses from a wide variety of business sectors. From an initial appraisal of business carbon emissions, through to development of environmental strategies & implementation plans – Carbon Footprint offer a full solution, including staff training, behavioural change management and providing technology based solutions to manage energy.” Carbon Footprint also offers clients in Ireland a range of fully credible carbon offsets for those who want to go carbon neutral and offers full assistance with marketing campaigns“. Clients can achieve Carbon Footprint Approval – a thorough & recognised endorsement of their business’s environmental performance - which is a large boost in market / competitive tendering situations”.
