What does it mean to be a purpose led business?

Sustainability
B-Corp

Your company’s purpose is bigger than its product or service and is shaped by the desire to positively impact the planet and society.

What is a carbon footprint?

Sustainability
B-Corp
Ethical Recruitment

This is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a particular individual, group, community or organisation.

What are Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?

Sustainability
B-Corp
Ethical Recruitment

Greenhouse gas emissions are broken down into three categories to help us understand where they came from:

  • Scope 1 includes the direct emissions from the activities of company owned resources
  • Scope 2 includes the indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy from a utility provider
  • Scope 3 includes all the indirect emissions not included in Scope 2 that occurs in a company’s value chain

What is carbon offsetting?

Sustainability
B-Corp
Ethical Recruitment

This allows you to invest in local and international environmental projects that balance your carbon footprint, either individual or as a business.

What is Carbon Neutral?

Sustainability
B-Corp
Ethical Recruitment

Being carbon neutral relates to the balance between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon. To therefore achieve carbon neutral status, your company has to create a carbon reduction plan, measuring and reducing operational carbon, the purchase golden standard offsets equivalent to your carbon footprint.

How do I certify as being Carbon Neutral?

Sustainability
B-Corp
Ethical Recruitment

PAS 2060 is the specification by the British Standards Institution that details how to demonstrate carbon neutrality. Out lovely friends at Planet Mark will be able to support you through this process brilliantly.

What is Net Zero?

Sustainability
B-Corp
Ethical Recruitment

This means achieving a balance between the carbon emitted into the atmosphere, and the carbon removed from it. This balance – or net zero – will happen when the amount of carbon we add to the atmosphere is no more than the amount removed. True Net Zero is therefore about reducing emissions to a minimum and balancing anything we do emit by removing carbon from the atmosphere using carbon sinks or carbon storage technology.

So what is the difference between carbon neutral and net zero?

Sustainability
B-Corp
Ethical Recruitment

Carbon-neutral means purchasing carbon reduction credits equivalent to emissions released, without the need for emissions reductions to have taken place. Net zero means reducing emissions in line with latest climate science, and balancing remaining residual emissions through carbon removal credits.
