TÜV SÜD Launches Carbon Management Service

04 March 2024

A carbon management service portfolio has been launched by TÜV SÜD in the UK with the aim of assisting organisations to reduce their carbon emissions and ultimately achieve carbon neutrality.

The services include carbon footprint calculation which will determine the scale of emissions and quantify the carbon impact. This assessment can be performed on an organisation or product level, including a full product life cycle carbon footprint evaluation. TÜV SÜD will then support the development of a carbon reduction plan that focuses on activities with the highest carbon emission reduction potential.

Other services available include an evaluation of the tools and/or algorithms that a company is already using to calculate their carbon footprint and a check that they are fit for purpose; a sustainability assessment which evaluates performance against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); and EU taxonomy reporting.

TÜV SÜD’s specialists will also regularly audit the organisation’s carbon reduction activities to ensure the plan is delivering against anticipated results. Anything that is not working practically or financially can then be reviewed at an early stage. Once carbon neutrality is achieved, TÜV SÜD’s Carbon Neutrality Certification will prove an organisation’s status to stakeholders, such as customers, the wider supply chain, staff, and potential investors.

Leon Youngs, Head of Sustainability Services at TÜV SÜD:

“Climate change affects businesses from multiple angles, putting pressure on them to reduce their carbon footprint. The public expects companies to reduce their environmental impact and develop plans to achieve carbon neutrality. Carbon management is therefore essential for any company that wishes to stay competitive in today's economy.

The push towards decarbonisation will be achieved by implementing effective carbon management practices. Our sustainability services are aimed at helping organisations meet decarbonation and sustainability goals by supporting their plans and measuring their activities against globally recognised standards.”
