Minimise

Unlike ISO standards, which often focus on the management process or system of management (eg. ISO 14001), The Carbon Saver Standard™ requires organisations to meet specific reduction targets. Only when these targets have been met can the Carbon Saver Standard™ be achieved.

During the early years of certification the targets are less onerous. As experience and competence builds the targets become more challenging. Please request an information pack if you would like more details on targets and achieving them.

Strategies for Saving carbon

The following are all means of reducing carbon emissions. Some are low cost to implement, eg. Behavioural Change, others require significant capital costs. Often grants or interest free loans can be used to help with capital investment. Check with your
