Achieving business growth is traditionally done through a combination of growing revenue and reducing costs. The hypothesis is that a tradeoff exists between making sustainable or net zero choices, and business growth. This whitepaper seeks to explore the economic challenges and opportunities of using environmental sustainability as a driver for business growth and the role finance should play in helping publishing become net zero.

Carbon Label Prototype

The carbon-label project, the first output from the Publishing 2030 Accelerator, fast-tracked established carbon calculators and combined this with a customized web page for a particular book, that gives users a glimpse into how carbon labels and reporting might look like for book production. Now, this is only a prototype. Far more work is needed to make this a reality, and the Accelerator group are now working on new pilots for 2023.
