Green Box will start by providing any specialist assistance you require in developing a robust carbon offsetting policy, which every affected organisation should have, as you need to be clear about your goals before you start, if you’re to derive maximum benefit from the process.

Once that blueprint is in place, and we have a detailed idea of your circumstances and needs, we verify those embodied emission calculations and help you offset the amount they indicate, guiding you through the minefield which obtaining carbon credits can become.

Corporate Strategy

These are high-level assessments, potentially global in scope, incorporating all the operations and developments of companies that want to implement or set targets for enterprise-wide zero-carbon strategies. These analyses therefore examine aspects such as their buildings and means of staff travel, plus their purchasing and procurement policies.

Company Footprinting

Our company carbon footprinting assessments focus on clients’ supply chains. They’re conducted at a similarly high level to the corporate strategy analyses but are necessarily more detailed, as they cover a myriad of aspects and points of detail that need to be mapped. Foot-printing studies: embrace features of the building process such as materials manufacture, construction, and waste; extend to third-party groups, like contractors and installers; and often cover multiple projects, for example.

Project impacts

These assessments are partly about what happens on-site, as projects are built. They therefore examine features such as use of diesel and electricity during the construction process. However, project-related carbon emissions don’t just originate on-site, so we also look at features such as workforce travel to and from developments, operational ordering procedures, back-office design, and materials manufacture.
