82% of FTSE 100 companies are committed to reducing their emissions to Zero by 2050, but only 8% are Carbon Neutral.

By becoming a Carbon Neutral Business - you will differentiate yourself in the market as an Industry Leader - proactively reversing your impact on Climate Change now, whilst also reducing your emissions over time.

81% of consumers are more likely to choose and spend more money with environmentally proactive brands, and as a Climate Leader – you will attract, retain and generate more business as an organisation.

Stand out from the noise - don't just create Climate Targets, create Climate Action.

As a Carbon Neutral Business, you will have a competitive advantage in engaging with, and motivating staff with an issue that matters.

Almost half the UK workforce (42%) now want to work for an organisation that has a positive impact on the world, according to research carried out by consultancy Global Tolerance. The survey of more than 2,000 people found 44% thought meaningful work that helped others was more important than a high salary, and 36% would work harder if their company benefitted society.

Becoming carbon neutral will provide a new opportunity to engage with your customers and community with a positive new directive.

Carbon audits completed by Carbon Neutral Britain™ are undertaken via the ISO 14064 and GHG Emissions Protocol Accounting Standards – the two largest and most widely used corporate standards in the world. Only by accurately measuring your footprint – can businesses track and reduce their emissions, as well as offset and achieve Carbon Neutral status.

Carbon Emissions Reporting and policies are increasingly required for businesses in the tender and renewal of contracts, as shown by the 2023 HM Government Policy Procurement Notice - where government suppliers must undertake carbon reporting each year- a requirement mirrored by many other large organisations.

In order to become certified as a Carbon Neutral Business, Carbon Neutral Britain™ are required to calculate your organisations emissions, following the ISO 14064 and GHG Emissions Protocol Accounting Standard - the largest and most widely used corporate standards - used by businesses globally.

In almost all cases, self-assessments or online/software-based calculation tools do not meet the required emission standards, so by completing an audit via the corporate standards, you can ensure all calculations are accurate and verified.

In addition to being a requirement for carbon neutral status, we also find that most customers prefer to use Carbon Neutral Britain™ as a third party to calculate their emissions, to provide assurance to stakeholders that their company’s Carbon Neutral claim is robust and credible.

Once your carbon emissions have been calculated, your annual emissions are offset through certified carbon offsetting projects.

Certified to the highest standards, all the carbon offsetting projects that we support are regulated through the Verra - Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the Gold Standard - Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER) and the United Nations - Certified Emission Reductions (CER) programmes. As the three largest, and most regulated carbon offsetting standards used globally by businesses - this ensures the measurements, and tonnes of CO₂e offset are accurate and verified.

Once complete, your organisation will be Certified as Carbon Neutral - a significant point of difference, and a proactive approach to environmental action that you will be able to promote to your stakeholders.

Once certification is complete, your businesses will receive a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) - the first step in reducing your future emissions.

With your carbon footprint accurately measured, the report will set emissions reductions targets to achieve net zero emissions, in addition to suggesting ways to reduce your carbon footprint for the future - based on the largest emissions sources.

By accurately measuring, offsetting and committing to annually reduce emissions, your organisation will not only be Carbon Neutral, but in alignment with both Science Based Targets and UK Government Requirements for Carbon Reduction Planning.

By planning for the future - your organisation will balance both short and long term environmental impact.

As part of your carbon offsetting impact, we plant trees in sustainable projects around the world - from British woodland management and creation, to tree planting in the Amazon rainforest.

As a client, you will receive detailed information on the projects you are funding, as well as the option for bespoke tree planting.

As an example - planting 240 trees is equal to 1 acre of Amazon reforestation - engaging content which you can promote to your stakeholders.

Once your business emissions have been offset, your organisation will receive Carbon Neutral Certification, Carbon Offset Certification, Carbon Neutral Business Badge (and licence), and a Media Pack – containing engaging photos, information and content on the exact projects supported via your offsetting, which can be promoted to your stakeholders.

All of our carbon offsetting projects are certified to the highest standards through VCS, VER and CER programmes - to provide complete transparency of the number of Tonnes of CO₂e that have been offset.

Increased Greenhouse Gas (CO₂e) emissions in the atmosphere are the biggest cause of Global Warming on our Planet. By Offsetting your Carbon Footprint your business will have a lasting impact on Climate Change for generations to come.

In addition to protecting the climate, every project also has secondary benefits, supporting local communities in alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals - such as providing safe drinking water, creating local jobs, as well as having a positive impact on wildlife, ecology and biodiversity.
