Business Case

Companies will not invest in projects, including GHG management systems, unless they see the value it will provide to their firms. An understanding of an investment's explicit or implicit positive financial outcome is what is often referred to as the "business case." For companies that are just getting started, the business case helps shape their programs and strategies. For companies that have established programs and are evaluating their performance, it supports continuing or expanding the work. Over time, the thinking behind the business case becomes part of a corporate philosophy for long-term strategic growth in a world of limited resources.
