What the Project Is
Pangolin Associates: carbon & energy management offers an innovative approach in the environmental consulting industry. This project, established in 2010, is driven by a passion for decarbonisation and energy management, responding to an economy where climate change and carbon restraints are everyday challenges. The focus is on providing the tools to operate in a decarbonised world and ensuring that every built environment accounts for embodied emissions. Aimed at reaching net zero carbon, the project supports Science Based Targets and emphasizes the importance of an evidence‐based approach, resonating with the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)… climate change is both real and unambiguous.
Main Benefit
- Embodied emissions apply to every built environment.
- Assistance with Science Based Targets to understand how much can be emitted responsibly.
- National Greenhouse & Energy Reporting (NGER) and compliance services ensuring carbon footprints are measured accurately.
- Emphasis on decarbonisation through Net Zero Services, GHG Assessments, and carbon credits (offsetting).
- Bcorp score of 92.7, showcasing a commitment to sustainability and transparency.
Decarbonisation and Climate Change Focus
Decarbonisation is at the heart of the project. Climate Change Specialists at Pangolin Associates stand by the science, supporting the Paris Agreement and emphasizing that warming of the climate is clear and unambiguous. The project leverages established principles – from Science Based Targets to GHG Assessments – to lower emissions while remaining compliant with environmental standards. The approach is practical: a blend of net-zero strategies and carbon footprint verification, ensuring responsibilities related to environmental management, energy audit, and energy efficiency are met. There is a certain dynamism and energy in the way these services are delivered… it is all about aligning business growth with climate resilience.
Climate Reporting Excellence
Climate Reporting plays a significant role in the project’s suite of services. Mandatory Climate Reporting (MCR) Services and initiatives like National Greenhouse & Energy Reporting (NGER) are put into practice, ensuring that clients stay accountable in a rapidly evolving climate landscape. The inclusion of tools like the Safeguard Mechanism, Climate Active, and Climate Change & Employee Commute Surveys confirms an in-depth commitment to verification and assurance while promoting both voluntary and compliance-based reporting. This robust framework provides not only environmental clarity but also an avenue for strategic improvement.
Sustainability and Circular Economy
The commitment to sustainability resonates throughout the project. Through Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) strategies, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies, and Circular Economy Services, Pangolin Associates makes sustainability a central theme. Additionally, environmental management practices support initiatives such as energy efficiency enhancements and energy audits, all while ensuring that accreditation and compliance standards are maintained. The approach is dynamic and sometimes conversational in nature, as complex sustainability topics are often simplified into actionable steps for businesses; after all, understanding LCA and offsets is key to reaching carbon neutral status.
Tools, Resources, and Digital Engagement
In today’s digital era, having the right tools and resources is essential. The project provides helpful tools like the Guide to Carbon Credits, a Carbon Glossary, and insights on how to avoid greenwashing. Detailed sections covering useful sources, sustainability info, energy & emissions standards, and lists of relevant industry groups empower clients with information that supports environmental management and energy management. This collection of resources, featuring accreditation data and energy audit insights, makes it easier for businesses to navigate the checklist of decarbonisation services — from Science Based Targets to carbon credits (offsetting). It’s a comprehensive digital toolkit designed to keep up with a fast-paced world while receiving precise verification and assurance.
