What This Project Is All About
This initiative isn’t just another environmental consulting service—it’s a science-backed movement aimed at real, measurable impact. At its core, it’s about helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint and embrace sustainable digital practices. For example, the dark mode toggle on their website isn’t just a neat feature—it actually lowers screen brightness on compatible devices, cutting down energy use and reducing environmental impact. It’s thoughtful choices like these that set the tone for a better digital future, built for impact, backed by science, and trusted by business.
Main Benefits and Key Figures
Here’s what makes this project stand out:
- 4,941 certificates issued recognizing climate impact
- 283.6 million tonnes CO2e verified
- 35% of carbon reduction members achieve significant cuts over 3 years
These numbers aren’t just stats—they’re proof that real climate credentials lead to real business impact. The project helps companies embed legitimate sustainable practices that reduce costs, improve market access, and boost staff engagement. It’s about turning climate and environmental risk into a competitive advantage.
Science-Led Certifications and Advisory Services
At the heart of this project are science-led certifications and advisory services designed to help businesses take credible action. From climate impact and carbon certification to EnviroMark certification for environmental management systems, the offerings ensure organisations minimize their footprint and comply with legal requirements. Advisory services turn ambition into action with tailored strategies and data-driven solutions, while greenhouse gas assurance builds trust by verifying GHG data against global standards.
Climate-Related Disclosures and Reporting
Climate reporting is no longer optional—it’s essential. This project supports businesses navigating mandatory climate-related disclosures (CRD) with confidence. Whether through advisory, assurance, or certification services, it ensures climate reporting is accurate, credible, and trusted by stakeholders. This transparency helps companies stay ahead of regulations and build stronger relationships with investors and customers alike.
Driving Operational Efficiency and Market Access
Reducing emissions isn’t just good for the planet—it’s smart business. By identifying inefficiencies across energy use, logistics, and supply chains, companies unlock cost savings and performance gains. Plus, climate alignment is increasingly a must-have for accessing capital, procurement opportunities, and supply chains. Credible action builds trust, opening doors to new markets and partnerships. It’s a win-win scenario where sustainability meets strategy.
