A RECENT survey has found that big business is seriously unprepared for the national carbon emissions trading scheme, set to begin within two years.
Only 36% of the senior executives surveyed were aware that the federal government's carbon trading scheme will begin in 2010, the Australian Institute of Management, Victoria and Tasmania, (AIM) survey found.
With these alarming statistics, FEN’s latest online poll asks manufacturers: Is your business prepared for the carbon trading scheme’s introduction in 2010?
Eighty per cent of respondents to the AIM survey said they knew very little or were only somewhat aware of the scheme.
Also, 76% of respondents said their organisations had not commenced planning for the scheme's introduction. Of the 288 executives who participated in the survey, 60% were chief executives or business owners and 40% were senior managers.
"The survey shows an alarmingly low level of preparedness for the emission scheme's introduction, with obvious implications for Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) readiness in 2010," AIM’s Victoria and Tasmania chief executive Susan Heron said.
