Who is carbon trust

The Carbon Trust Standard is a world-leading, international certification which recognises best practice and achievements in carbon reduction.

Companies which achieve the Standard must be able to provide an accurate assessment of their carbon footprint, supported by robust data. They must be able to evidence that they have strong carbon management processes and demonstrate continuous improvement over a three year period. In we were recertified, achieving the highest Carbon Management score in our sector.

The Standard recognises organisations which can demonstrate that they are measuring, managing and reducing the carbon emissions from their supply chains. Our investigations have shown that our supply chain emissions are 99 times greater than those we emit as a result of our own operations so-called Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Working with our supply chain partners to tackle emissions is where we can have the greatest impact. Particularly those involved in groundworks, cement and plaster, as these represent the largest source of emissions.

As part of this, we created carbon management plans with two groundworker companies in our supply chain, where we baselined their carbon footprints and created a series of short, medium and long-term interventions.
