A Carbon Action Plan is a strategic document that outlines specific actions and initiatives an organisation will undertake to reduce its carbon emissions and mitigate its impact on climate change.

The plan typically includes target completion timelines, and detailed steps for achieving carbon reduction goals.

It is an essential component of an organisation's sustainability strategy and demonstrates its commitment to environmental responsibility. A Carbon action Plan can support the creation of a Carbon Reduction Plan.

JOSCAR Zero creates one Carbon Action Plan per site, once that site has completed the JOSCAR Zero questionnaire.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensures the organisation meets or exceeds environmental regulations and standards.

Cost Savings: Identifies opportunities for energy and resource efficiency, leading to cost reductions.

Reputation Enhancement: Demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, which can enhance company reputation with customers and employees.

Risk Management: Mitigates risks associated with climate change, such as regulatory penalties, supply chain disruptions, and physical impacts.

Innovation and Competitiveness: Encourages innovation and positions the organisation as a leader in sustainability, potentially opening up new markets and opportunities.
