Globally renowned specialist security services provider, Corps Security has been awarded Carbon Neutral status, after working hard to reduce its carbon footprint and offsetting unavoidable carbon.
Carbon Neutral
Corps Security has cut its carbon through a range of measures including reducing its diesel fleet
Carbon Neutral is a term used to describe the state of an entity, such as a company, service, product or event, where the carbon emissions caused by them have been balanced out by funding an equivalent amount of carbon savings elsewhere in the world.
In the past year, Corps Security has cut its carbon through a range of measures including reducing its diesel fleet, reducing air travel, and cutting the use of paper in offices, particularly for tender documents.
Increased investment in renewable energy projects
At the same time, the organization funded several projects to offset the 477 tons of carbon it produced in the past year, which includes a wind-based power generation project in India.
The project in the Indian state of Maharashtra is helping the country to reduce its reliance on coal to meet energy needs, while also creating jobs as wind power is labor intensive. The project was recommended by Carbon Footprint, which provided Corps Security with its carbon neutral certification.
Meeting standards set by SECR scheme
Corps Security is also working towards rolling out more electric vehicles and installing electric charging points at its London and Glasgow offices. The move to Carbon Neutral status is part of Corp Security’s drive to ensure it met the requirements of the Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) scheme that came into effect in April 2020.
“We wanted to go one step further and demonstrate that we’re a carbon neutral company,” said Mike Bullock, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Corps Security, adding “As a company with a 160-year history, we take a long-term view and it’s important to us to ensure that our world is around for future generations to enjoy.”
