We are a carbon neutral company
Carbon Neutral Britain was engaged by Flora-tec Limited in order to measure and calculatethe organisation’s total carbon footprint for 2022, with the purpose of offsetting their totalorganisation emissions – to become Carbon Neutral.
As a company that specialises in horticultural services, it was identified that the mainemissions were to occur from company owned/leased vehicles within the reporting period. Due to hybrid working, staff worked from home, of which the energy usage from home was also calculated.
Carbon Neutral Status
In July 2023, Flora-tec Limited offset their carbon footprint to become certified as a Carbon Neutral Business by Carbon Neutral Britain.
As certification awarded by an external organisation, it provides assurance that the carbon neutral claim is robust and credible, following calculation using the ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol Emissions Standard principles of relevance, completeness, consistency, transparency and accuracy.
Carbon Neutral Status has been awarded to the organisation for a period of 12 months.
It is recommended the organisation completes an annual calculation of its environmental impact and emissions in 2024, to further monitor and evaluate emissions changes after implementing reduction strategies, in addition to offsetting and maintaining carbon neutral status.
Reduction Target Plan
In order to achieve a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030, Flora-tec Limited is required to reduce its emissions by 183 tCO2e over the next 7 years.
This will require a reduction of 7.14% (26.13 tCO2e) per year from the ‘Baseline’ (first year) assessment of the organisation. A further reduction of 2.5% (9.15 tCO2e) each year is then required in order to achieve Net Zero.
Should significant changes to the business size and structure occur in the future – Carbon Neutral Britain will amend the ‘baseline’ assessment year, as well as look at intensity values (tCO2e per million turnover, FTE or other metric), to further track and implement reduction strategies.
