Whether you buy a new phone or print a document at the office, every action has a carbon footprint. Jack Board and Liling Tan do the math and break down exactly what carbon accounting does. Our guest this week is Yoon Young Kim, cluster president at Schneider Electric.Â
As the planet gets warmer, skies are getting rockier. And (warmer air) causes changes in wind speed. And we know that warmer air is increasing because of carbon emissions.
We know in Singapore that this carbon accounting is going to be required soon. From next year, all listed companies here will have to start reporting on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
It's not like switching on or off. Like tomorrow, I want to have a more sustainable operation and it can happen. It is a journey an organisation and the country has to go on.
