The Importance of Being Carbon Neutral
In the UK, businesses account for over 85% of total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions - making corporate action the number one priority in helping stop climate change before it becomes irreversible. Which is why we engaged Carbon Neutral Britain, to measure and offset our total organisation emissions. It has never been more important for businesses to step up and take account of the environmental impact associated with their operations.
Carbon Emissions Report and Reduction Initiatives
Undertaking a Carbon Emission Report has identified the areas within the business which produce the most emissions and highlighted areas where we can implement initiatives to improve. By undertaking annual emissions reports we’ll be able to track our progress in achieving emission reductions across the business over time.
Our GHG emissions report was carried out in accordance with the International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO) 14064:1-2018 and GHG Emissions Protocol Accounting and Reporting Standards, with the report focussed on three scopes of emissions:
Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): Activities owned or controlled by the organisation that release emissions straight into the atmosphere.
Stationary and Mobile Source Emissions (equipment and quantity combusted), Company Owned and Leased Vehicles (vehicle type and distance travelled), Refrigerant Gas Losses (refrigerant type and new / disposed units) for the organisation only.
Scope 2 (Energy Indirect): Emissions being released into the atmosphere associated with the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, steam and cooling. These are indirect emissions that are a consequence of the organisation’s activities - but occur at sources that the business does not own or control.
Energy (electricity, imported heat, steam in kwh) from the office and vehicles, using the location based method.
Scope 3 (Other Indirect): Emissions that are a consequence of business activity, which occur at sources which are not owned or controlled, which are not classed as scope 2 emissions.
Home working Energy (Days), Water (consumption and waste volume), Waste (landfill, recycled and composted weight), Business Travel (type and distance), Staff Commuting (average distance and type), Hotel Stays (UK, Europe or Worldwide days), Inbound/Outbound delivery (weight/volume, type and source), Transmission and Distribution losses associated with electricity usage (kwh) and Well To Tank emissions from combustion fuels (volume combusted).
Verified Off Setting Projects
Through the Carbon Neutral Britain Climate Fund™, Fixmart Ltd has offset its total carbon emissions through internationally certified carbon offsetting projects. Certified via the Verra - Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the Gold Standard – Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER) or the United Nations - Certified Emission Reductions (CER) programmes. The projects have also been selected based on their direct and indirect impact around the world - not just in offsetting, but also in supporting education, employment and clean water, as well as having net positive impact on the local wildlife and ecology.
Our Green Promise
We are continually exploring new ways to improve our environmental performance and believe that we can achieve more by working with our stakeholders. Therefore, we encourage our employees, customers and suppliers to join us in our commitment to environmental sustainability.
