Shining Earth® launches ‘Beyond Carbon Neutral’

Shining Earth®, the sustainability division of Delta-Simons Environmental Consultants has launched the ‘Beyond Carbon Neutral’ standard, which is an award applied to a product, service, event or organisation which has accurately measured its carbon footprint, worked to actively reduce the footprint and offset over 150% of the remaining emissions.

Gareth Pickles, Managing Director at Delta-Simons comments; “While other carbon footprinting standards exist, such as PAS 2050, they are often extremely complex and expensive to achieve certification and so organizations which do have the desire to understand, reduce and offset carbon are often discouraged to do so due to the time and cost constraints.  Shining Earth® provides the know-how and expertise to help clients develop a comprehensive understanding of the most substantial carbon emissions, provides assistance reducing the emissions and delivers not-for-profit carbon offsets to achieve Beyond Carbon Neutral status, without making the process a costly and lengthy research project.”

 

Through offsetting by more than 150% a company is not only offsetting the carbon emissions but taking more CO2 out of the atmosphere than it produces.  Beyond Carbon Neutral projects typically offset 200% or more of the identified emissions.

 

Shining Earth® has already worked on various projects with organizations to achieve the ‘Beyond Carbon Neutral’ standard, including the world’s first ‘Beyond Carbon Neutral’ suit with leading UK made-to-measure tailors Norton and Townsend.
