All Real World Energy Solutions programmes are geared to helping companies attain the Carbon Trust standard accreditation.
What is it?
The Carbon Trust Standard launched in June 2008 certifies that an organisation has genuinely reduced its carbon footprint and is committed to making further reductions year on year.
The Standard is set to become the main accreditation for businesses wanting to prove their commitment to carbon reduction and the Real World Energy Solutions services have been carefully designed to support your company achieving it.
Even if you decide not to go for the standard now, you can take comfort in the knowledge that by following our Carbon Champion programme you will have the evidence base you need should you decide to go for accreditation in the future.
About the Carbon Trust Standard.
The Carbon Trust Standard makes it possible for your organisation to demonstrate its commitment to and achievement of carbon emissions reduction.
The Standard focuses on the direct action your organisation is taking. Assessment against the Standard is undertaken by an independent third-party assessor, based on the evidence you provide.
To achieve certification against the Standard your organisation must meet the requirements in all three areas:
Measurement
Your organisation will need to measure its key greenhouse gas emissions. Initially this means measurement of the electricity and fuel you use onsite, and the fuel you use in your vehicles.
Management
Your organisation needs to show good carbon management performance. This means providing evidence of activity such as investment in new equipment, maintenance programmes and staff training.
Reduction
Your organisation must be able to show emissions reduction over the last year – either on a total emissions basis, or on a relative basis (e.g. emissions/£m turnover).
To achieve certification, your organisation must pass all three sections of the Standard as set out in the key rules. To retain the Standard your organisation must be reassessed every two years.
Our Carbon Champions programme is based upon:
Creating an energy management system tailored to your needs.
Investigating and implementing changes to the fabric of the building and to people’s behaviour.
