Balancing the output of carbon emissions into the atmosphere with the removal or avoidance of an equal amount of emissions.

We were the first to provide a clear set of guidelines for businesses to achieve carbon neutrality, back in 2002, and every year since then we’ve continued our commitment to providing a robust framework for credible carbon neutral statements. The CarbonNeutral Protocol is updated annually to ensure it reflects the latest industry and scientific best practice, providing businesses all over the world with the assurance that their carbon neutral action is clear, transparent and of the highest quality.

By importing your electricity from abroad.

By building a new office under water.

By sourcing renewable electricity or purchasing carbon credits, combined with internal energy efficiency reductions.

Scope 2 emissions are emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, steam or cooling. How can companies address their Scope 2 emissions?

Scope 2 emissions are emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, steam or cooling. How can companies address their Scope 2 emissions?

NEXT QUESTION

A cost-effective way to address your company Scope 2 emissions is by purchasing Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). An EAC is a certificate that provides information about the environmental attributes of one megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity. Wind, solar and biomass generators produce electricity that has not emitted any carbon during its creation. EACs label that electricity as renewable, enabling companies to report lower Scope 2 emissions while demonstrating demand for renewable energy generation.

One year in advance.

How many years ahead of schedule did VMware become a CarbonNeutral® company?

VMware reduced its global carbon footprint to net zero to become a certified CarbonNeutral® company two years earlier than planned. As one of the largest software companies in the world, this is an outstanding achievement, setting the bar for others to follow and demonstrating that significant carbon reductions can be made fast.

NEXT QUESTION

For example, the project has hosted agricultural courses to support the diversification of agricultural production and household income, while raising awareness of the benefits of avoided deforestation (SDG 4: Quality Education). The project area also helps conserve several endangered and vulnerable species such as scarlet macaws, Amazon river dolphins, squirrel monkeys, and great white herons (SDG 15: Life on Land).

By measuring and offsetting the emissions of their office.

By eating 1 tonne of ice cream.

Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources such as the use of gas. How can companies address their Scope 1 emissions? By making in-house reductions, purchasing carbon credits to offset emissions or purchasing Green Gas Certificates.

NEXT QUESTION

For those Scope 1 emissions a company is unable to reduce through internal changes, purchasing carbon credits to offset emissions enables them to support emission reduction projects elsewhere. Companies with operations in the UK now also have a cost-effective, high quality solution to address direct emissions from gas used to power their facilities: Natural Capital Partners offers clients the opportunity to purchase Green Gas Certificates to address their Scope 1 emissions with renewable power.
