With a Carbon Neutral (scope 1 & 2) target of 2030, the ARDEX Group UK recently worked with Achilles (Recognised Certified Body) to accurately reduce and measure their Carbon Footprints endorsed by verifiable commitment to reduce emissions and to continually improve environmental performance.
Achilles’ Carbon Reduce (powered by Toitu) scheme highlights the necessary data from all activities which is critiqued under the ISO 14064:1 scheme.
Measuring carbon output under ISO 14064-1 includes company vehicles, business travel, fuel and electricity, water and waste, to name a few. In return, this assists ARDEX Group UK to accurately identify areas of the business where they can reduce their emissions and consequent impacts on the environment.
