Business and the Environment
Accounting for a New kind of Green
Governments around the globe are rapidly converging on the need for a regulatory framework that defines an acceptable carbon foot print by business and industry.
A new consumer-generated and wholesaler prescribed paradigm is leading the emerging changes. Though there is still no overall compliance model, large industrial emitters, and major business players such as Wal Mart are reading the emerging tea leaves and initiating supply chain management programs that require prescribed expectations regarding carbon liabilities and preferential supplier credits.
The trickle down effect on small and medium sized enterprises (SME’s) will see mandatory compliance in order to maintain their supply chain position. This means that SME’s need to be aware of their current carbon foot print and have the ability to validate it using affordable verification methods.

Making Green, by Being Green
Current international verification standards such as ISO 14064 are extremely costly, and difficult to implement for SME’s.
SME’s require more cost effective and implementation considerate approaches to determine their carbon position; quantify their environmental awareness and qualify potential social impact considerations.
The Stark & Marsh ‘green accounting’ perspective focuses on effective and affordable SME assessment, awareness and verification methods. We use a three pronged approach;
1. Environmental Efficiency Audit – “Going Green and Saving Money”
2. Alternative Technology and Product Development Audit – “Going Green and Making Money”
3. Readiness and Verification Audit – “Going Green and Not Paying Money”
These progressive and affordable approaches allow you to manage your business transition in a manner that is profitable at each step. Whether your business is agriculture, manufacturing, resources or retail, our professional business advisors can help you assess your environmental considerations with an eye on your bottom-line.
