Take a Stride to Success                               21st Sep 09   Issue 55 London

Dear Houghton Wan,

Welcome to Take a Stride, a weekly bulletin from our coaching team and experts to help you stride out to success.

This week, we look at carbon offsetting for your business, to help you improve your environmental policy.

PLUS...

Should organisations offset their carbon footprints?

Carbon offsetting is something we read about a lot these days.  It is a complex area and it can be difficult to work out the right way forward.  With more organisations buying carbon offsets, many managers are faced with navigating the subject and deciding whether they should spend money on an offsetting service.

What is carbon offsetting?

Carbon offsetting is a growing industry.  Companies set up projects that either reduce emissions (by building renewable energy plants, for example), or absorb greenhouse gases from the atmosphere (by planting or protecting forests).  Legal considerations connected to the Kyoto Protocol mean that projects should always be in developing countries. According to New Carbon Finance, the number of carbon offsets bought doubled between 2007 and 2008.  The list of buyers is dominated by private companies, but public sector organisations and charities are cropping up more often.

Why do organisations buy carbon offsets?

Business Growth Programme

Don't miss our Business Growth Coaching Programme to help you take your business to the next stage over the next 6mths.

Get Prepared

The skills and behaviours required to grow a business are different to those required for a successful launch. The things that have made you successful up until now might not be the same as those that will make you successful in the future.

Do you have the right business model to grow for the future?  What strategies will you employ for growth?  Are you leading with vision and getting the most from the team around you?  This transition is a challenge for many business leaders and as a result they become the barrier to their own company's growth.

Striding Out has designed a programme to help small business owners to take a step back from the day-to-day and look to the future. FIND OUT MORE HERE
