Net Zero is an ambitious and required target for governments, institutions, and companies to intensely reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and prevent the damaging effects of climate change.
Net-Zero is an ambitious and required target for governments, institutions, and companies to intensely reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and prevent the damaging effects of climate change. Net-Zero for companies is defined as achieving two ambitious:
Baseline
To reduce your carbon footprint, you must first understand your impact – not only of your direct operations but also of your supply chain. It involves practical and robust calculation of your company’s carbon footprint, including emissions sources such as gas, electricity, vehicle fleet, business travel, consumable materials, waste and recycling, employee commuting, homeworking, subcontractors and suppliers.
Similar to any Net-Zero pathway, data tis required. We use a clear and transparent estimations in line with best practice reporting standards. This allows companies to get started, quantify baseline emissions, and begin making reductions as early as possible, whilst improving data capture in future years.
Setting A Science-Based Target
You must have an clear understanding of your organisations carbon footprint and the key emissions sources, the next step is to set a carbon reduction target. By adopting a Science-Based Target initiatives means that your emissions reductions will meet, or exceed, the Paris Agreement settlement of 1.5 C and, hence, in preventing the worst possible impacts of climate change.
Action Plan
In order to achieve the Science-Based Target, a detailed Net-Zero roadmap should be developed. We help you identify all opportunities to reduce emissions across your organisation, establish the achievability and effectiveness, and prioritise recommendations. Reducing carbon emissions and achieving Net-Zero is not easy. We are experts in the management, and adaption of fuel and energy infrastructure; and understand the difficulties of transitioning to renewable and alternative fuels.
Our Net-Zero action plans take into account all the indirect challenges and consequences of decarbonisation and provide practical solutions.
Verification Reporting
Once implemented, we support you to quantify and verify the emissions savings. By calculating absolute carbon emissions and key performance indicators (KPIs), we can assess progress towards your reduction’s targets over time.
Part of any Net-Zero plan, some form of carbon removal will be required. To compensate for these residual emissions, an organisation can invest in carbon offsets (wind, solar project etc.) or nature-based solutions (tree planting, rainforest conservation, peatland restoration etc). There are many of carbon offsetting options, our experts will help you through the process, identify what values are important to your organisation and find a project which matches those values for money.
Net Zero is an ambitious and required target for governments, institutions, and companies to intensely reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and prevent the damaging effects of climate change.
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting is a legal obligation for all large organisations to disclose their energy and carbon emissions within their annual Director’s Report, or separate sustainability report.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an integral part of planning and development.
Energy performance certificates are a rating scheme to summarise the energy efficiency of buildings.
