Opportunities

Regulatory certainty

Governments around the world have accepted the science of climate change and it is inevitable that they will take action to limit global warming by introducing stringent legislation. This process has already begun in the EU and the UK and will benefit organisations by helping to create a state of regulatory certainty.

 

New regulatory frameworks will help to shape how organisations deal with climate change and its effects. The page on policy explains more about the legislative detail.

Organisations will benefit from being ahead of the legislative curve and working out how to comply.  Regulatory certainty around carbon emissions creates a number of opportunities for businesses:

  • lower transaction costs - as green technology goes into mass production, green technology becomes more affordable
  • guaranteed demand for environmentally efficient products and technologies, particularly in the industrial, energy and retail sector
  • a competitive advantage for companies that have already absorbed adaptation costs by the time regulation takes hold
  • new markets such as the carbon trading market can become premium opportunities for profit.
