TÜV SÜD UK has launched a Carbon Footprint Management service to help organisations reduce carbon emissions and ultimately become carbon neutral.
The new service will calculate an organisation’s current carbon footprint, to understand the scale of the challenge and quantify the carbon impact. This can be conducted at an organisation or product level, and include a full product life cycle carbon footprint assessment. TÜV SÜD will then support the development of a carbon reduction plan that focuses on activities with the highest carbon emission reduction potential.
TÜV SÜD’s specialists will also regularly audit the organisation’s carbon reduction activities to ensure the plan is delivering against anticipated results. Anything that is not working practically or financially can then be reviewed at an early stage. Once carbon neutrality is achieved, TÜV SÜD’s Carbon Neutrality Certification will prove an organisation’s status to stakeholders, such as customers, the wider supply chain, staff, and potential investors.
Leon Youngs, Head of Sustainability Services at TÜV SÜD, said: “Climate change affects businesses from multiple angles, putting pressure on them to reduce their carbon footprint. The public expects companies to reduce their environmental impact and develop plans to achieve carbon neutrality. Carbon management is therefore essential for any company that wishes to stay competitive in today’s economy.
“The push towards decarbonisation will be achieved by implementing effective carbon management practices. Our sustainability services are aimed at helping organisations meet decarbonation and sustainability goals by supporting their plans and validating their activities against globally recognised standards,” concluded Youngs.
