The Environment Model

A high level model showing a few factors that influences the environmental dimension. This model shows the main inflows (Emissions) and outflows (Minimisations) of the Carbon emissions stock. Carbon emissions (Total transportation emissions) are generated by the company’s transportation fleet comprising of vans, small and large trucks. As the vehicles are highly utilised, their efficiency deteriorates over time thus producing higher levels of carbon emissions. The warehouse company can minimise this by regularly maintaining and upgrading their vehicles (Transportation fleet upgraded). The company may offset their carbon emissions by planting trees (Carbon absorption by trees) or purchasing Carbon credits.
