Hove based technology finance provider, Lease Group, has this month achieved carbon neutral status, following the calculation and offsetting of it’s total carbon emissions as a business.
Using reporting and methods recognized within the ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol Emissions Standard, Lease Group became certified Carbon Neutral by external organisation Carbon Neutral Business. The credit-broker appointed Carbon Neutral Britain to manage the project and ensure the carbon neutral claim is both robust and accurate.
The technology financier, who works with over 850 independent technology suppliers, set out it’s plan to reach carbon neutrality at the beginning of the year. During the first half of 2022, the company conducted industry standard practices to calculate and offset it’s total carbon emissions, as a result, neutralizing it’s carbon footprint as a business.
“Carbon Neutrality was firmly on our roadmap for 2022,” comments James Phillips, Group Managing Director. “We wanted to fully and accurately evidence to ourselves, our channel Partners and our customers that we are committed to running a sustainable business.”
“We’ve fulfilled our biggest commitment to the environment to date and are extremely proud.” added James Phillips. “Whilst we are delighted to be playing our part, it’s important for companies to recognise that Climate Change is a combined effort. We hope to see many more companies follow in the next 12-24 months.”
Carbon Neutral is defined as “making or resulting in no net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, especially as a result of carbon offsetting.” Companies, processes and products become carbon neutral when they calculate their carbon emissions and compensate for what they have produced via carbon offsetting projects.
According to Carbon Neutral Britain, businesses account for over 85% of total GHG emissions – making corporate action a priority in combatting climate change.
“We are delighted to partner with Lease Group Limited to help identify and offset their environmental impact from 2022 and beyond”, comments James Poynter, Director at Carbon Neutral Britain.
Through the Carbon Neutral Britain Climate Fund™, Lease Group Limited has offset its total carbon emissions through internationally certified carbon offsetting projects. Full details including a Carbon (GHG) Emissions report can be reached via the link below:
