Carbon Neutral Britain was engaged by Flora-Tec Limited in order to measure and
calculate the organisation’s total carbon footprint for 2024, with the purpose of offsetting
their total organisation emissions – to continue their Carbon Neutral status. As a company
that specialises in horticultural services, it was identified that the main emissions were to
occur from the use of company owned/leased vehicles within the reporting period.
Through the Carbon Neutral Britain Climate Fund™, Flora-tec Limited 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.
As the three largest, and most regulated voluntary offsetting standards used by organisations and even countries in their emissions reductions – all measurements and tonnes of CO₂e offset are accurate, and verified.
In October 2025, 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 from 2025, 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 212.24 tCO2e from the ‘Baseline’ (third year) assessment by 2030.
This will require a reduction of 8.33% (35.36 tCO2e) per year from the ‘Baseline’ (third year) assessment of the organisation. A further reduction of 2.50% (10.61 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 metrics), to further track and implement reduction strategies.
“By accurately measuring, offsetting and committing to annually reduce emissions 8.33% by 2030, Flora-Tec Limited is not only Carbon Neutral, but in alignment with both Science Based and UK Government targets for Carbon Emissions Reductions”
