As part of parent company Mott MacDonald’s certification, JN Bentley has achieved carbon neutral status for the very first time after meeting PAS 2060 – the internationally recognised specification for carbon neutrality.
Certification follows external verification of JN Bentley’s carbon footprint by the Carbon Trust. This footprint covers emissions from fuel and energy used on construction sites and in offices, plus the operational impact of home working and employee-owned vehicles.
One of the first organisations in its sector to achieve independent verification, JN Bentley has achieved carbon neutrality through a combination of effective energy and carbon management and responsible offsetting.
Steve Tetlow, JN Bentley director responsible for greenhouse gas emission reduction, said, “We’re pleased to have been certified as carbon neutral following verification from the Carbon Trust.
“Certification demonstrates to our clients, suppliers and colleagues that we are taking the carbon challenge seriously and taking meaningful steps on our journey to becoming net zero – something we have committed to achieve by 2040.
“In the future we intend to further reduce our footprint through alternative, innovative means such as being operationally ‘green’ and developing low carbon solutions for our clients.
“Lots of hard work has gone into achieving certification for the very first time; thank you to everyone involved.”
