Measure
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and are the reference point against which emission reductions can be measured.
Aims and targets
Targets allow you to judge whether the plans you made to reduce your carbon emissions are working, and whether the reductions achieved are meaningful.
Reduce
Select best carbon reduction projects for you and your business, based on your values, the cost, and likely payback time.
Track
Track your carbon emissions to reflect the changes and compare how well you are doing against the targets.
Offset
Offset schemes work by paying volunteers, companies or charities to do things which ‘negate’ your carbon emissions, for example, planting trees.
Certify
Certification is a valuable process that provides checks and balances for the sector.
