Net Zero

What is Net Zero?

Net Zero refers to the UK government’s goal to reach Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2050. This will mean both reducing consumption in line with Science based targets (SBTs) and carbon off-setting as the very last resort when reducing emissions isn’t possible. Carbon emissions are produced through almost every aspect of an organisation, whether it is energy used, transport, administration, or the use of raw materials, goods and services (that’s your supply chain); in addition to the use of resources, how your products/services are used by customers is also included in your carbon impact.


See our introduction to Net Zero and our introduction to Carbon Accounting for more information.

Net Zero means carbon emissions and carbon offset balance out, but the scale of emissions decreases over time.

Case Studies

Testimonials

Beyond Green provided excellent support and coaching as we navigated our way through our first carbon audit.  They provided expert knowledge and project management but also ensured the process engaged the whole organisation, reflected our values and ambition and left us with the ability to continue this important work ourselves.  I would thoroughly recommend them for any small organisation looking to begin the journey to net zero.

Erica Judge, Director of Funds, Climate Justice, Inspiring Scotland

The facilitation, support and expertise offered by Beyond Green throughout this project encapsulated this collaborative ethos, ensuring that we were able to have meaningful discussion and idea generation that could be harnessed into a working plan and roadmap.
Matt Godfrey, Head of Finance and Sustainability, Aberdeen Performing Arts

Beyond Green has been fantastic in guiding us through our journey towards Net Zero, from the early Briefing and Scoping Sessions, through our Data Collection Sessions to establish our Carbon Inventory, to quantifying our Carbon Baseline.
Craig Anderson, ICAS Facilities Manager

The Beyond Green team undertook a detailed survey and analysis of our College carbon footprint across all aspects of our business model from July to September 2021. An exemplary piece of strategic work, representing excellent value for money for which we are enormously grateful to Paul and his team at Beyond Green.
Dr Steve Graham, Chief Executive Officer, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow
