AB  - Awareness of the challenges of sustainable development, and in particular the risks of climate change, is leading to inevitable restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. Companies must now adopt a systematic approach to sustainable development.  This issue is particularly important as true carbon risk management must be introduced into the strategy of companies that will increasingly operate in a global low-carbon economy. Indeed, companies are now called upon to be accountable and transparent about the environmental consequences of their business activities. Carbon risk is one of several new emerging risks for companies associated with climate change risks, regulatory risks from climate policies and the introduction of new markets in which companies trade emission credits. Carbon management requires      companies      to have a better understanding of their      GHG emissions to assess their      environmental responsibility and to know their      degree of exposure to carbon risk. Once this assessment has been carried out, the company must adopt a carbon risk communication strategy, define targets, and implement abatement practices. Dalsey, Hillblom and Lynn is the world's leading logistics company and emits around 29 million tonnes of CO2 per year. It is therefore a particularly suitable company for a case study on carbon management, especially as the company has indicated that it will become carbon neutral by 2050. DHL prioritises accounting, disclosure, energy efficiency and offsets to reduce its emissions. The company is struggling to reduce its emissions but is limiting the increase in emissions despite the increase in its activity annually. DHL needs to be more rigorous in developing better carbon management tools and giving itself the means to achieve very high targets.
