<p dir="ltr">Setting an integrated sustainability strategy that fits within the company's short and long-term objectives is vital to achieving a successful outcome for the business and promotes credibility to customers, investors, employees and other stakeholders.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The aim of the Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) is to demonstrate your organisation's commitment to Net Zero, presenting your long-term goals and short-term action plan. If your company has quantified its impact through carbon accounting, these should be reported as baseline emissions with complimentary emission reduction targets.&nbsp;</p>
