Scope of expertise relevant to the professions:
The CarbonNeutral Company provides end to end carbon solutions, helping

change, underpinned by the highest quality assurance in the market
place.
GHG Emissions Assessment Protocol(s) / Standard(s) used:
The carbon market is relatively new and there is much debate and
confusion around standards, and the integrity of claims being made by
business. We took the decision early to ensure the professionalism of
our carbon programme. We manage our carbon contracts and carbon stocks
according to a fully documented process (the CarbonNeutral Protocol) -
we were the first company to create a proprietary industry offset
standard.
We retain an independent science advisor who conducts our carbon
footprinting reports for clients and we use the GHG protocol for the
measurement of Greenhouse Gas emissions.
We are uniquely audited annually by PwC (both our finances and our
carbon transactions) and were the first company to commission and
produce a Policy for Accounting and Reporting Carbon (in association
with PwC), a set of best practice guidelines for how to account and
report on carbon.

East and AsiaPac through our offices in London, New York and San
Francisco as well as associate networks in Dubai, Canada and Japan.
