Greenkeepers’ assessment process takes the hassle out of carbon footprint assessing and is in accordance with the Green House Gas Protocol – the most widely adopted international standard.

As well as contributing to climate change, CO₂-emitting activities incur costs: saving CO₂ therefore can save costs. Emissions reductions – like all good objectives – should be specific, measurable, achievable and time-bound. Greenkeepers can help identify cost-effective reduction actions, construct a carbon management plan and monitor achievement to plan.

Carbon neutrality is achieved by offsetting your residual footprint with carbon credits - emissions reductions achieved outside of your organisation. The projects that generate carbon credits are audited to ensure that the emissions savings are real, additional, permanent and verified. One carbon = one tonne of CO₂. It is vital that offsets are not only purchased, but retired: permanently taken out of circulation, never to be sold on. Greenkeepers uses the highest-quality carbon credits: Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs), certified to UN Clean Development Mechanism / Joint Implementation standards under the Kyoto Protocol. The projects that originate these credits go through the most stringent approval and audit process. Carbon neutral status is attained when:



The above process is in line with the Government’s guidelines on achieving a carbon neutral status.
