That is the goal of the National Office for Climate Change for 2013. A year that could be marked by the taking of institutional measures to promote not only compliance with international standards for greenhouse gas emissions but also allow companies that support this environmental initiative have positive results for their activity. Because that is the conclusion that could be heard at the recent International Genera Energy and Environment Fair . That, beyond even reducing the corporate carbon footprint, the improvement of corporate gas emission systems brings competitiveness with it. Hence, the Office, dependent on the Ministry of Agriculture, has not only initiated a system of gas emission measures for this yearbut, in addition, with them it is essentially sought to improve the productivity of the Spanish business fabric. Because it is not only a question of CO2 quotas but also of many other aspects: improving the energy efficiency of Spanish companies to reduce their costs can be a good first step to reactivate the economy of our country through a gesture of respect with environment. Hence, the Office has already announced the establishment of a non-mandatory register divided into three levels . On the one hand, the first is aimed at Spanish companies that want to know their CO2 impact on the atmosphere and officially register. Something that would allow them to have a quality seal from the Ministry and jointly establish measures to reduce their gas emissions. The second of the registers is intended for companies or institutions with forestry or service farming projects. And the third would be a meeting point for those companies that close the year with an emissions deficit to offset their carbon footprint with those that, due to their activity, can minimize their impact. A sum between efficiency and respect for the environment that could well be a catalyst for the adoption of Green IT measures that favor not only compliance with standards but also business productivity.
