Zero Impact is a package for businesses who are trying to offset the Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
generated from all parts of the business. We are also able to work with
clients to offset the CO2 from a part of the business or a particular project.
We look to establish a long term relationship with all of our clients and to
help them not only offset their carbon now, but to reduce future carbon
emissions too. Through our No Cost, No Carbon
program we also aim to improve your profitability.
Achieving a Zero Impact carbon footprint is a continuous process, that
involves the repeating of 3 simple steps:
Assessment
It is clear that little can be achieved until we know how much Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
your
business generates. In order to assess your Carbon output we have devised a
number of tools - our online Carbon Calculator
will give a first estimate, alternatively we can work with you to provide a for a more in-depth analysis.
At this stage we agree the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which has been
produced by your business, either directly or indirectly. This needs to be offset
and we can establish the costs involved.
Offset
As your Carbon partner, Energy 4 The Planet will work with you to offset all
Carbon that your business created. Offsets work in a number of ways, from planting of
trees, the protection of existing woodlands and tropical rainforests to
investment in Biomass, New Energy and other carbon friendly technologies.
Offsets can also be achieved by distributing low energy products, both here and
abroad.

Reduction
Once you know how much Carbon your business is producing, the next step is to
review the ways in which this can be reduced. There are numerous ways of
reducing the carbon footprint, many of which are free.
We undertake free surveys for our clients, and can provide you with a range
of advice and information suitable for your business profile.
(Businesses with large spends (£50k+) may be entitled to free, government
sponsored surveys - we do not undertake the surveys but can arrange them
for you and assist in the implantation.)
Actual reductions vary from business to business.
No Cost, No Carbon
As well as working to reduce your carbon emissions, we also work with our
partners to reduce the costs related to your energy usage, for example buy lower
energy unit costs or supply new energy efficient technology.
Further details of this program can be found here.
All clients who achieve Zero Impact status will receive formal certification
stating that the business have achieved a Zero Carbon Footprint. All Zero
Impact clients will also be listed on this site.
