About This Topic
Carbone management includes the processes of measuring, reducing and offsetting carbon emissions produced due to human activities. The process also involves offsetting the unavoidable emissions that cannot be eliminated through reduction efforts. In this context, this is achieved through carbon offset projects such as reforestation, renewable energy generation, or methane capture from landfills. The aim to remove or reduce an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
It is essential to assess various strategies and determine the most suitable approach when we try to implement carbon management strategy. It is recommended that as a first step is to identify the carbon source. Then tailored strategies to minimize the impact of carbon. This involves adopting energy-efficient technologies, implementing renewable energy sources, optimizing supply chains, or introducing sustainable transportation practices. The best practices for carbon management are reducing emissions in infrastructure and supply chain, investing in verified carbon offsets and influencing policy for decarbonization.
Carbon management has different benefits such as: a. Competitive advantage and revenue generation: companies reducing carbon footprint are distinguished in an increasingly eco-conscious market will enhance consumers and stakeholders and it give a positive value for their brand and market position. Such companies by reducing their carbon impact, can provide a competitive advantage to their corporate customers, making their products and services more attractive in a market that values sustainability.
b. Risk mitigation: Active carbon management provides companies with the ability to deal not only with environmental regulations but also with operational risks such as supply chain disruptions. Companies can anticipate and prepare for various climate-related risks, ensuring operational resilience and long-term sustainability.
c: Enhance reputation: Companies that have strong commitment to carbon management improves a company’s reputation and will be seen as an environmentally responsible organization attracts new customers, investors, and top talent. This will enhance its position in the market.
d: Investor Attractiveness: Sustainable investing is significantly increasing. As a result, companies that excel in carbon management are becoming more attractive to this growing segment of environmentally conscious investors, ensuring financial support and investment for their sustainable initiatives.
e: Regulatory Advantage: With environmental regulations increasing at an unprecedented rate, proactively managing carbon gives companies a regulatory advantage. This visibility often leads to eligibility for government subsidies and incentives, providing financial and strategic benefits in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
f: Supply Chain Optimization: Effective carbon management leads to significant improvements in supply chain efficiency. For example, energy-saving measures not only reduce emissions, but also lower operating costs. Similarly, efforts to reduce waste can increase the amount of saleable products, boosting revenues. These improvements contribute to a more sustainable and resilient business.
Thirteen million people die annually from environmental causes according to the United Nations Climate Action Facts webpage and reducing carbon dioxide emissions can save millions of lives by 2050 according to IPCC goals.
In this special issue will highlight the latest techniques and research to minimize the effect of carbon on the environment.

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
