“Climate action has become urgent and every business, no matter what size, will need to take steps to transition to a low carbon economy. There are practical actions that every business can do to reduce emissions and these make a difference for our planet and business’s bottom line,” says Dr Ann Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Enviro-Mark Solutions. “You can’t manage what you don’t measure. carboNZero is a tool that helps businesses understand their carbon footprint and identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary waste through emissions and, subsequently, increase efficiency and decrease costs. It’s also a way of demonstrating to customers and stakeholders that you take risk management and environmental protection seriously.

 “We are proud to have worked with Inzide Commercial on their carboNZero certification for the past eleven years. They are truly committed to making a positive difference to our atmosphere, and the certification means they have measured their emissions and committed to an ongoing reduction plan, as well as offset unavoidable emissions through high-quality international carbon credits.”
