Carbon Neutral Wales

Net Zero by 2030 - Play your part

"Net Zero Wales - Sharing the journey for a better future"

In it's second Carbon Budget, the Welsh Government called for every business, public body, community group and citizen in Wales to embed the climate emergency in the way they think, work, play and travel.

Net Zero Public Sector by 2030

The Welsh public Sector has been charged with becoming Carbon Neutral by the end of its third Carbon Budget, in 2030.

Suppliers to the sector must be seen to be making real efforts to set themselves on a carbon reduction pathway to maintain their supplier status.

Suppliers are known as 'Scope 3 emissions' and are the hardest emission set for the Government to understand and manage.

In it's strategic Plan, the Welsh Government stated that "Emissions from the provision of these goods and services make up almost 85% of our baseline footprint" and that "Our vision is to only contract work with suppliers who endorse net zero and embed decarbonisation in the delivery of their goods and services."

Play your part, get ahead of the game and set yourself on the Carbon Neutral Pathway.

Achieve Carbon Neutral certification through our 'Carbon Neutral Wales' certification and maintain your position at the top of the supplier list.

Let us assess your emissions, identify your opportunities to reduce emissions and offset your unavoidable emissions to certify you 'Carbon Neutral'

In the Welsh Governments Strategic Plan, the Government state that; "For any organisation, it is very difficult to entirely remove all emissions. We recognise that some residual emissions will remain part of our footprint in 2030, even after all the initiatives have been implemented. These emissions will be unavoidable and will need to be offset"

Carbon offsetting is a broad term that refers to activities that reduce or avoid carbon emissions, or increase carbon storage to compensate for emissions that occur elsewhere. We recognise that absolute zero emissions by 2030 is not realistic and a level of neutralising through GHG removal offsets will be required to reach our net zero ambition.

We only offer Carbon units from the highest quality verification standards standards, ensuring your carbon offsets will meet the strictest scrutiny.

In the Pembrokeshire County Council 'Action PLan towards becoming a net zero carbon local Authority by 2030', the Council stated that "Because one unit of CO2 has the same climate impact wherever it is emitted, the benefit is the same wherever it is reduced or avoided. Achieving verified carbon reductions could include protecting rainforests in South America or, potentially, local tree planting"

Our Classic Portfolio of verified offsets are sourced from Plan Vivo and United Nations, ensuring the highest quality of carbon offset credits.
