With national and international targets now firmly in place, COP26 shone the spotlight on sustainability and this is now a critical time for all businesses to be measuring their own impact and taking steps to offset carbon footprint. Through measures including recycling, waste reduction, reduced travel and more energy-efficient buildings, amongst others, we have been able to demonstrate continued improvements and play our part in delivering a more sustainable future. But the efforts won’t stop here – we’ll be ramping up focus on sustainability both internally and with our clients in 2022 to help make continuous improvements.
Carbon Neutral Britain is the UK's carbon offsetting initiative, helping British individuals and businesses to make an impact on climate change. Its vision is to become a leading Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in Britain to tackle the climate change crisis, by educating and providing voluntary carbon offsetting to all, including individuals, charities and businesses of all sizes.
Founded in 2020, so far its projects have already offset over 500,000 tonnes of CO2e and planted over three million trees, helping stop climate change and providing essential forest habitats for endangered wildlife.
