We are all aware of the global climate crisis currently facing everyone, but few are aware to what extent their activities contribute to the problem and how they can reduce their impact, well now they can with TURNING THE BLACK COUNTRY GREEN. We assist forward thinking businesses in becoming CARBON NEUTRAL certified to PAS2060 : CARBON NEUTRAL and then onto CARBON NET ZERO
Lord David Attenborough will explain why we ALL need to start to take responsibility for our actions NOW before it's too late!
In June 2019, the UK committed to achieve NET ZERO by 2050, this will affect every business, t is no longer will we do it it is a case of when do we start.
There has never been a better time to DIFFERENTIATE your business, PROMOTE your CSR to the community and REDUCE costs by becoming CARBON NEUTRAL.
If you think you don't need to act now because 2050 is so fay in the future, think again. If you remember any of the events below, then you need to start now as they all happened only 30 years ago!
Why should you become Carbon Neutral?
'Just because you're not thinking about your carbon footprint, doesn't mean your customers aren't!'
The simple answer is because WE SHOULD.
The commercial answer is because it can:
increase revenue
reduce costs
engage stakeholders
mitigate risk
It also plays a vital part in your Corporate Social Responsibility, demonstrating to your customers your commitment to the environment.
Currently the largest 11,900 businesses in the UK have to report their Carbon Footprint and reduction strategies within their annual report, so just because you're not thinking about your Carbon Footprint, doesn't mean your customers aren't!
INCREASE REVENUE
by differentiating yourself in your market
REDUCE COSTS
by changing behaviour and reducing consumption & travel
ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS
by motivating & retaining staff & connecting with customers
MITIGATE RISK
by reducing the risk of possible future carbon taxation
How do you become CARBON NEUTRAL?
Like any journey it all begins with the starting point, what is our Carbon Footprint? We work with you to calculate your Carbon Footprint across scope 1, 2 & 3.
Scope 1 - Direct Emissions
Scope 2 - Indirect Emissions (energy)
Scope 3 - Indirect Emissions (15 categories)
Having calculate your footprint, we then work with you to build a reduction plan, both short term and long term.
We then offset your emissions through one of our VCS / Gold Standard verified Carbon Offset programmes in order to certify you Carbon Neutral to PAS2060
INSTALL CARBON DASHBOARD
WE install our CARBON DASHBOARD bespoke to your business.
MEASURE CARBON EMISSIONS
WE request data in order that WE can assist you in populating your CARBON DASHBOARD with Scopes 1, 2 & 3 Carbon Emissions
REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS
WE identify short , medium and long term opportunities to reduce your Scope 1, 2 & 3 carbon emissions and through our CARBON COMMUNITY provide turnkey solutions
