Many organisations have carried out environmental audits to establish their 'carbon footprints' and many carry out assessments of CO2 emitted in the supply chain for individual product lines, so that their customers can make appropriate choices. They do this because of a commitment to reduce their environmental impact. However, most of these are simply static analyses accompanied by a target improvement sometime in the future. It remains unclear how they can best improve their performance with the minimum - and foreseeable - cost impact.
So how are these companies going to get from where they are to where they want to be, in the most cost-effective way?
The answer, instead of a static analysis, is to plan using a dynamic model from Paragon. As well as planning the impact of changes and initiatives over time, costs can be assessed and alternative approaches tested. It can also be used to track progress and produce regular 'snapshots' in order to demonstrate improvement. Cost-effectiveness can be taken into account and resources and investment understood. The outputs of the model can also be used to demonstrate the success of your planning to stakeholders by trying various scenarios, and comparing them using Paragon’s unique ‘Information Manager’.
Paragon have also worked with renewable energy and waste recycling companies, modelling planned operations for maximum efficiency and minimum environmental impact.
