What we do
We support businesses, financial institutions and governments globally as they accelerate toward Net Zero. From Net Zero strategies to policy advice to joint industry programmes, we turn ambition into tangible impact.
Through the Carbon Trust Assurance, we offer carbon footprint verifications. Businesses also have the opportunity to strengthen climate credentials with our labelling scheme.

Decarbonisation strategy
We have worked closely with the Carbon Trust over a number of years and we are pleased to see our collective efforts come to fruition. Our broader sustainability agenda has developed from energy efficiency in our operations, to carbon, renewable energy, water and waste reduction, through to our supply chain goals.
We sought the Zero Waste to Landfill verification because we wanted to provide traceability, trust, credibility and accountability in the organisation’s waste management, internally and externally, through an international organisation.
We’re proud Virgin Media O2 is one of the first companies in the UK to be recognised by the Carbon Trust for our commitment to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions across our business, operations, and supply chain by the end of 2040.
Working with the Carbon Trust has enabled us to detangle the complexity of our supply chain. Thanks to their scalable model, we now have a much more detailed picture of where we are in meeting Kellogg’s ™ Better Days Promise environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy climate ambitions. The team's training sessions were especially helpful. We now have a better understanding on where to reduce our supply chain emissions and can factor our calculations into future procurement decisions.
