Beyond Carbon Neutral: The New Standard for Climate Leadership
For years, "carbon neutral" was the goal. But in a world demanding greater transparency and more ambitious action, the market has moved on. We are here to guide you on the journey to the new global benchmark: a credible, verifiable Net Zero strategy.
The Problem: "Carbon Neutral" No Longer Meets Stakeholder Expectations
While carbon neutrality was a valuable first step, the term has become associated with a lack of rigour. Today's investors, customers, and regulators are demanding more. They want to see a commitment to deep, science-aligned internal reductions before offsetting, which is the core principle of a true Net Zero strategy. Simply balancing your emissions is no longer enough.
Our Solution: A Credible Pathway to a Defensible Claim
We have built our entire approach around helping our clients achieve the highest standard of climate leadership. Instead of simply helping you to become "carbon neutral," we guide you through our proprietary Carbon Footprint Net Zero Standard.
This is the UK's most practical implementation framework, providing a clear, step-by-step pathway that is built on a foundation of deep emission reductions, ensuring your final climate claim is robust, verifiable, and stands up to the highest levels of scrutiny.
| A Traditional "Carbon Neutral" Claim | Our "Net Zero Standard" Achievement |
|---|---|
| ✅ Often focuses primarily on offsetting | ✅ Prioritises deep, science-aligned reductions FIRST |
| ✅ Can be seen as a one-time "balance sheet" exercise | ✅ Is a long-term, strategic journey |
| ✅ Lacks a formal reduction requirement | ✅ Requires monitoring of progress towards targets |
| ✅ Faces a high risk of greenwashing accusations | ✅ Is a powerful, defensible, and trusted claim |
