Net Zero Emissions – A Matter of Trust

In today’s business landscape, the stakes of effectively navigating a clear pathway to net zero emissions are rising with no signs of slowing down:

• Entities such as the EU are pursuing measures to regulate greenwashing and require sustainability reporting.¹

• Financial institutions have allocated over 5.8 trillion dollars to sustainable finance.²

• Sustainable businesses are increasingly preferred as employers.³

• Businesses push their Scope 3 emission reduction efforts up the supply chain, turning carbon performance into a competitive factor.

In an environment of rising attention and scrutiny, trust becomes a decisive factor and wherever business can build trust, they should seize it.

1. In assessing carbon footprints – Transition from spreadsheets to professional CO2 management software to establish and continuously update organizational CO2 footprints.
2. In managing abatement efforts – Monitor and integrate abatement initiatives across solar, batteries, electric mobility fleet and energy efficiency with CO2 management software to be able to effectively manage the improvements.
3. In certifying – Endorsements from reputable third parties go a long way. The partnership between Bureau Veritas and Univers allowed for Bureau Veritas to provide seamless assurance for businesses utilizing Ark to manage their CO2 footprint.
4. In carbon offsetting – Organizations will continue to grapple with offsetting their residual carbon footprint through carbon credits, which must adhere to reputable standards.

When it comes to carbon offsetting, trust is of utmost importance. That’s why Univers recently unveiled a partnership with Citi.
