We do it properly...

18 categories of emissions

If we are going to take this seriously we need to get a true and clear picture of where we are now.

So, each year we calculate your carbon footprint, including all the activities your business does that emit greenhouse gases, across 18 categories of activity. We help you gather the right data to get a full understanding of all your climate impact, then we give you a comprehensive report according to the requirements of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.

Getting the full picture is only the first step. Ultimately we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, but how do you know how much to reduce them by to really have an impact?

We help you set science-based targets to reduce your emissions. This means that these targets are in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's guidance, to limit global warming to 1.5°C

The goal is to reduce our emissions to zero. However in the real world it's not possible to do this immediately, so we help you offset what you cannot reduce by buying and retiring carbon credits on your behalf.

Not all offsets are created equal so we only use credits that have been independently certified by the Gold Standard, so you can be confident that your offsetting really is effective.
