Once the Carbon Footprint is calculated it is then possible to look at way of reducing it. Generally these can be reduced with organic reduction such as reducing energy usage and water usage or saving fuel.

Organic reduction should be the first thing to look at. What can be done in the business to reduce the impact or there could be simple measure like using a green tariff for energy provided to the business or it may be that there are other things to look at such as eliminating certain resources within the business that are not necessary or where the impact of using this resource has a negative environmental impact, reduction in use of certain resources,  recycling within the business and waste reduction.

Re use and repair should also be considered before recycling so it could be that many things used in the business could be repaired and/or redeployed elsewhere in the business or by another organization. This could include Office Furniture, IT equipment, packaging, stationary etc.
