A statement that environmental projects, with the same return on investment as non-environmental projects, will be given priority. 2. The Board will specify the return on investment criterion and the scale of environmental project should be brought to their attention and will undertake to make a decision inside a specified period. 3. The Board will welcome co-workers or suppliers to directly inform it about projects with an environmental benefit. 4. Ideally a helpline will be provided for co-workers and suppliers to discreetly bring environmental projects that meet the policy criterion to the attention of the Board, but which have been blocked for whatever reason at lower levels of the organisation. ![idea](https://betterworld.solutions/hubfs/Betterworld/graphics/idea.png "idea") # Save water, save energy, # prevent emissions, Credit to Trevor Smith AVT Reliability for photograph # improve your productivity, # get a Return on Investment # and... save the world! # Adopt an Investment Policy to Prevent Global Warming. ### By way of example only, at the time of writing, it might be possible to save the equivalent of the CO2 emissions (CO2eq) of approximately 630.5 million cars and in many cases get a return on investment of less than 2 years. A sample of such a policy can be accessed [here](https://betterworld.solutions/form?hsLang=en) and can be amended to meet the need of any organisation.  It can be considered as freeware and can be printed onto any company headed paper.  We estimate that widespread adoption of more climate-friendly policies in industry globally, could have the equivalent impact of taking 630.5 million cars off the roads while also providing a useful return on investment. [(See Technical Annex\_RR3)](https://betterworld.solutions/examples/c02-savings-in-mechanical-seal-usage?hsLang=en)  A breakdown of the estimated CO2 savings is below. | Method | **No of Equivalent Cars by CO**2 **Mass** | | | --- | --- | --- | | Voltage Optimisation  | 81,585,100 |   | | [Battery Arrays](https://static.aesseal.com/whitepaper/BW-BATTERY_ARRAYS.pdf) | 101,000,000 | [Read Evidence Summary](https://static.aesseal.com/whitepaper/BW-BATTERY_ARRAYS.pdf) | | [Pump Energy Savings ](https://bettwerworldsolutions.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/Pump-System-savings_ppt.pdf) | 25,000,000 | [Read Evidence Summary](https://bettwerworldsolutions.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/Pump-System-savings_ppt.pdf) | | [Electric Cars ](https://betterworld.solutions/examples/electric-vehicles-are-a-critical?hsLang=en) | 70,000,000 | [Read Evidence Summary](https://betterworld.solutions/examples/electric-vehicles-are-a-critical?hsLang=en) | | [Process Improvement ](https://betterworld.solutions/examples/c02-savings-in-mechanical-seal-usage?hsLang=en) | 353,000,000 | [Read Evidence Summary](https://betterworld.solutions/examples/c02-savings-in-mechanical-seal-usage?hsLang=en) | | Total | 630,585,100 | | The [Investment Policy to Prevent Global Warming](https://betterworld.solutions/form?hsLang=en) can be considered as being freely available. There is no requirement to acknowledge any individual in AES, or the Corporation. Companies can decide their own return on investment criteria and tailor the feedback mechanism as appropriate. The important thing is to ensure that Boards of companies are better informed so they can save water and energy, limit the damage to our environment and also get a Return on Investment. Please feel free to share this policy with any interested person or business If enough businesses act, together we can slow down or help to prevent Global Warming. We can only act on what we know. And once we know, we can work together to engineer a better world. ### **Explore** If enough businesses act, together we can slow down or help to prevent Global Warming.
