Carbon is a bit of a dirty word in 2022. But it doesn’t have to be.
Maybe it should be the start of a conversation
We might begin by acknowledging that, while transport and agriculture get most of the attention, commercial property is behind 20% of New Zealand’s total carbon emissions.
So where does your business stand – and how can Phantom support you? We are commercial partners, and we want to play our part in helping your business succeed.
Here’s Phantom’s take on carbon emissions.
Low-carbon posters
The Phantom Billstickers frames on your walls aren’t just a revenue-generating tool. We are systematically decarbonising our operations to reduce their environmental impact.
Unlike flashier forms of advertising, static posters don’t suck energy from the grid. When we install lighting it’s low-energy LED. Our posters are printed on paper from sustainably harvested forests using Greenguard inks.
We are also moving our fleet away from fossil fuels. Our new e-vans will save 11 tonnes of carbon during their lifetime.
You’ll find Phantom is the perfect partner to a carbon zero building portfolio or an owner just starting the journey. Our carbon zero certification and low-impact operations means the carbon impact of revenue-generating posters on your property is low.
The bigger picture for building owners
Of course, what happens on your walls is only part of the story. You can drastically reduce a building’s total carbon emissions through design, technology and switching to sustainable energy. There’s a tonne of stuff owners can do – start by looking here.
This can have the welcome side-effect of cutting your costs. That’s a win/win for the planet and your wallet.
You might partner with an independent organisation like Toitū Envirocare to calculate your carbon impact. Armed with this knowledge, you can then take steps to reduce your footprint.
Whether it’s solar panels, enhanced insulation, carbon offsetting or some other measure, the result is a property that no longer adds to carbon emissions.
And that’s exactly what Phantom has done. Yes, we’re now net carbon zero certified
As always, it’s about the numbers
As a property owner, you know that business is based on numbers. Yields, interest rates, revenue forecasts – just about everything that matters has a number attached to it.
We’re suggesting that the same applies to climate change.
The good news is that you’re not alone. Organisations like Toitū Envirocare can help with tools to reduce your climate impact. And Phantom can play a part on the periphery – because we’re in it for the long term.
It’s the way we’ve always done business. Back in the day, Phantom invented the business model that enables building owners to earn passive revenue by renting the space on their walls. Now we’re adjusting our model to factor in our carbon impact.
Let’s work on this together.
