Background
R. Paul Herman is the CEO and founder of HIP Investor Inc. Paul shares case studies of S&P 500 companies that are generating profit through cost reductions, revenue growth, tax benefits and brand enhancement—all of which are maximized through systematic carbon accounting. Then, Chris Erickson describes how carbon accounting parallels financial accounting, and shares a customer case study that illustrates why carbon is a key performance metric like cost and quality.
