CarbonNow is thrilled to share our recent collaboration with DKP Consulting Ltd. Introduced through our successful work with nearby Rabbit Hill Business Park, DKP sought our expertise to ensure that they complied with procurement policy note PPN 06/21. This directive mandates suppliers to the public sector have a clear plan for achieving Net Zero by 2050, a challenge DKP was eager to tackle early on.
Comprehensive Carbon Audit
CarbonNow began with a meticulous carbon audit which adheres to the GreenhouseGas Protocols and follows guidelines from DEFRA. We provided a detailed analysis of DKP's current carbon footprint examining their energy usage, waste management practices, and overall environmental impact. The audit offered a clear baseline, allowing us to identify key areas for improvement and set realistic reduction targets.
Tailored Reduction Plan
Next, based on the audit findings, we developed a customised reduction plan for DKP. This plan included actionable steps to enhance energy efficiency, optimise waste management, and adopt sustainable practices across their operations. Our aim was to provide DKP with practical solutions that not only met regulatory requirements but also fostered long-term sustainability. It's important to create realistic targets and ensure the buy-in from key members of staff if you want your reduction plan to succeed.
Sustainability Statement
To transparently communicate DKP's commitment to sustainability to its key stakeholders including its customers, we prepared a comprehensive sustainability statement. This document highlights DKP's proactive measures, achievements, and ongoing efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. It serves as a testament to their dedication to meeting PPN 06/21 standards and their broader environmental goals and is displayed on their website for all to read.
A key aspect of our tailored audit is collaboration. DKP's proactive stance and willingness to implement recommended changes were instrumental in the success of this project. By working closely together, we ensured that the solutions provided were both effective, realistic and aligned with DKP's operational realities.
Our partnership with DKP Consulting has already yielded significant progress. The steps taken have not only set DKP on a clear path to compliance but have also established a framework for continuous improvement. DKP’s commitment to a greener future is evident, we are proud to be part of their sustainability journey and we look forward to next year's audit to see the fruit of their hard work.
At CarbonNow, we are committed to helping businesses like DKP Consulting navigate the path to Net Zero. Combining thorough analysis, practical solutions, and collaborative effort means we can all drive meaningful change.
