At gco2 we provide practical process driven business solutions to help your organisation measure, reduce and offset its Carbon Footprint.

“Carbon Neutral” is the term used to explain the process whereby the carbon emissions associated with a business or activity are fully accounted for and eliminated to net zero. Most organisations will have a number of indirect sources contributing to its Carbon Footprint, so outright “Carbon Neutral” claims made by organisations are often difficult to fully support.

Carbon Footprint measurements can vary depending on the measurement procedures and the emission factors used. gco2 use the accounting structure developed by the GHG Protocol, the most widely used international method of carbon management and accounting. gco2 also use emission factors from official local sources wherever possible to ensure our customers get the most accurate estimation of their Carbon Footprint.

As outright “Carbon Neutral” claims made by organisations are often difficult to fully support, the gco2 Carbon Neutral Standard has been developed to enable organisations display their carbon initiatives in a clear and transparent manner.

The gco2 Carbon Neutral Standard is awarded to organisations that have measured, reduced and neutralised their carbon footprint in the following areas of their business:

• Emissions from Direct On-Site Energy Combustion
• Emissions from Company Owned Vehicles
• Emissions from Electricity Consumption
• Emissions from Business Travel

gco2 can also work with your organisation to identify, measure, reduce and neutralise the indirect factors contributing to your Carbon Footprint, and provide solutions to enable the clear and transparent promotion of these initiatives.
