How to become a net zero company
Becoming net zero isn’t just about carbon accounting; it’s a holistic approach to corporate sustainability. Understand your footprint and discover credible offsetting strategies, like UNDO’s enhanced rock weathering solution.
Understanding Net Zero
To qualify as a net zero company, your business must have no net carbon footprint. It’s about reducing emissions using proven methods, while also investing in high-permanence carbon removals to compensate for residual emissions that cannot be eliminated.
Steps to reach net zero
Guide your company towards net zero with a holistic approach that balances environmental impact with innovative carbon management strategies.
Step 1: Record Your Impact: Begin by measuring your company's carbon footprint.
Every business, regardless of size, contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. Understand your impact, considering both direct and indirect emissions from various sources including energy consumption, supply chains, and more.
Step 2: Prioritise Reduction: Having assessed your emissions, it's crucial to strategise on how to reduce them.
This involves implementing energy-efficient practices, refining supply chains, promoting eco-conscious behaviour among employees, and other tailored strategies unique to your organisation's operations.
Step 3: Invest in UNDO for Carbon Removal: Remove your unavoidable emissions with enhanced rock weathering.
Even after considerable reductions, some residual emissions will remain. By partnering with UNDO you are investing in scaling our ERW solution, supporting a groundbreaking approach to permanent carbon removal.
