q  By introducing sound environmental
management practices and reducing
environmental impact overall,
business can profit from cost
savings through efficiency or
productivity gains.
q  Other benefits include: www.earthtimes.org

Ø  Cost savings from less use of raw

materials, energy and water;
Ø  Receiving recognition such as those
accorded to companies in today’s
presentation of Best Practices
Ø  Finding new market opportunities for
"green" goods and services; and
Ø  Improving workplace safety through
reduced use of industrial
www.makingitmagazine.net
chemicals and reduced waste
q  Instill awareness on CC in industries
especially in SMEs
q  Go beyond voluntary industry codes
of conduct or the international
environmental standard ISO 14000
series to address climate change www.voicesforourplanet.com
q  Consider including “emergency
management” (so-called business
continuity) in business plans
q  Big companies can start “greening”
their supply chain
Ø  Capacitate SME’s in the supply
chain to attain or implement
certain level of environmental
standards
www.adeed.net
q  Location of business as it may
be affected by an extreme event
like flood or fire.
Ø  Ensure an appropriate
insurance cover for the
business
q  Protection of business assets
such as business data (taxation,
payments, invoices, customer
lists, etc.) and essential
operating equipment
q  Alternative operational plan that
would enable the company to
continue to operate or remain in
business if there is a disruption
to the company’s supply chain
www.ramtech.net.au
or distribution system
q Outcome  2  -­‐  Private  sector  is  engaged  to  define  
the  enabling  environments  and  s;mulate  
investment    in  mi;ga;on  
Ø  Formulate  private  sector  roadmap  for  LEDS  
to  engage  the  private  sector  in  the  development  of  MAs  and  
create  and  mature  mi;ga;on-­‐oriented  Public  Private  
Partnerships  (PPPs)  
Ø  Establish  a  Government  award/recogni;on  system  
for  good  prac;ces  in  mi;ga;on  
To  encourage  private  industries  to  develop  low-­‐carbon  
ini;a;ves/projects  by  giving  recogni;on  to  companies/  
enterprises  for  implemen;ng  Best  Prac;ces  in  Climate  
Change  Adapta;on  and  Mi;ga;on  
q Outcome  3:    An  enabling  environment  is  created  
to  encourage  the  private  sector  to  integrate  
mi;ga;on  strategies  into  their  business  plans  
Ø  Iden;fy  policy,  financing  and  technology  
instruments  to  implement  mi;ga;on  ac;ons  and  
LEDS  in  the  private  sector  
Ø  Conduct  business-­‐oriented  analysis  on  the  costs  and  
benefits  of  engaging  in  LEDS  and  adop;ng  
mi;ga;on  ac;ons  
 

Matching  NAMAS  op;ons  iden;fied  by  the  public  sector  with  

the  LEDS  ini;a;ves  of  the  private  sector  by  providing  a  
business  oriented  analysis/model  (from  the  standpoint  of  
the  company)  on  the  costs  and  benefits  of  par;cipa;ng  in  a  
NAMA  
q Outcome  4:    MRV  schemes  are  developed  with  support  from  
private  sector  actors  
Ø  Develop  GHG  repor;ng  protocol  and  pladorm  for  the  private  sector  to  
submit  their  GHG  reports  on  a  voluntary  basis  
Ø  Develop  GHG  management  protocol  to  be  integrated  into  private  sector  
business  plans    
•  The  private  sector  would  be  encouraged  to  set  corporate-­‐wide  
greenhouse  gas  (GHG)  reduc;on  goal  and  inventory  their  
emissions  as  a  business  prac;ce.  
•  They  would  be  assisted  to  develop  an  inventory  protocol  which  
would  define  how  project  partners  (through  industry  
associa;ons/organiza;ons)  inventory  and  report  their  GHG  
emissions.  
•  The  protocol  would  neither  be  a  regulatory  imposi;on  nor  a  
repor;ng  requirement  to  any  government  agency.
