Earthwatch Institute, Fauna & Flora International and the Tropical Biology Association,  the company’s goal is to minimize the impact of their business activity on wildlife and nature) -minimize of polluting outputs (diminish the amount of waste and landfill output and encourage recycling, minimize chemicals and run-offs to land and water). In order to evaluate their performance on all areas, BAT applies a benchmarking system for comparing their achievements to that of the competition. These data are

corn-based bioplastic to produce containers for some of their products. Although industries who use this product claim a carbon savings of 30% to 80%, a Guardian study shows otherwise. The results show that this type of plastic does not break down in landfills as efficiently as other conventional plastics. The extra energy it takes to recycle this plastic results in a higher output of greenhouse gases. Also, the plastics can contaminate waste streams, causing other recycled plastics to become unsaleable

and GHGs by up to 70%. Closed-loop: InterfaceFLOR ReEntry 2.0 carpet fibre cleanly separates from its backing to ensure post-consumer material can be recycled into new material without contamination. This diverts millions of pounds of waste from landfill sites. InterfaceFLOR aims for a zero footprint by 2020. Supplier diversity: A Hackett Group survey found that leading companies with higher supplier diversity achieved 133% higher returns on the cost of procurement as new sources of revenue were

an even more effective insulator, trapping over 21 times more heat than does the same amount of carbon dioxide. Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane also comes from rotting organic waste in landfills, and it is released from certain animals, especially cows, as a byproduct of digestion. Nitrous oxide is a powerful insulating gas released primarily by burning fossil fuels and by plowing farm soils. Nitrous oxide traps over 270 times more heat
