Carbon Accreditation
Oxygen Consulting offers two tailored carbon management accreditation programmes:
Carbon Efficient: Over approximately 12 weeks, we help clients develop a comprehensive emissions profile (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064-1:2018 standards. We assist in setting Science-Based Targets (SBTs) and identifying strategies to reduce emissions and enhance efficiency. Our support is customised to your organisation’s specific needs, ensuring capability building throughout the process.
Carbon Neutral: This accreditation programme includes all the features of the Carbon Efficient Programme, with the addition of offsetting residual emissions through the purchase of carbon credits. Clients can choose between native New Zealand forestry regeneration credits (NZUs certified under the New Zealand ETS) and certified Gold Standard verified emission reductions (VERs) from high-quality international projects.
Both programmes provide tailored approaches that align with your sustainability objectives and are re-validated annually to ensure credible and demonstrable progress.
