The first step towards reaching our goal of becoming carbon neutral across Global University Systems and all our institutions by 2040 is measuring and understanding our carbon footprint. We’ve partnered with Planet Mark to do just that and are happy to announce we have achieved Planet Mark Business Certification.
Planet Mark supports businesses in reducing their carbon footprint and driving positive environmental impact. Their robust, evidence-based methodology aligns with our dedication to transparency and measurable impact. This collaboration will empower us to make meaningful reductions in our carbon footprint from year one, whilst also exploring verified carbon credits that align with our mission.
Planet Mark is also supporting The University of Law and Arden University – which have both also achieved Planet Mark Business Certification – and we are encouraging our other institutions to follow suit.
Together, we will achieve:
Comprehensive Carbon Measurement Ongoing measurement of our Scope 1, Scope 2, and core Scope 3 emissions; including waste, business travel, water, and paper procurement. Independent validation of all submitted data and evidence, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and credibility.
Certification An annual certification report, requiring carbon reductions each year after our second reporting year to retain certification, with a complete carbon footprint and our measured contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Carbon Neutral PAS 2060:2014 accreditation, encompassing an assessment of our reduction plan, offsets and alignment to the standard.
Carbon Reduction Planning Tailored recommendations for continual improvement, helping us identify and implement effective reduction strategies. Tools and strategies to encourage and support sustainability improvements throughout our supply chain.
