Which initiative would typically be part of a company's strategy to reduce GHG emissions?

Question

Options

• APromoting travel by private jets
• BReducing investment in renewable energy
• CImplementing energy-efficient technologies in operations
• DIncreasing the use of coal-powered plants

• C

• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Implementing energy-efficient technologies in operations (C) directly reduces a company's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by lowering the energy consumed in day-to-day activities - less energy use means fewer fossil fuels burned and less CO₂ released. Private jets (A) are among the most carbon-intensive forms of travel, making option A the opposite of a reduction strategy. Reducing investment in renewable energy (B) would increase reliance on fossil fuels, worsening emissions rather than cutting them. Coal-powered plants (D) are the most carbon-intensive electricity source, so expanding their use would dramatically increase GHG output.

Memory tip: Think "efficiency = less waste = less emissions." Any answer that implies more consumption of high-carbon sources (jets, coal) or less clean energy is a red flag on GHG questions.
