Carbon Management

Our approach to carbon management is not only ethical but also financial. Aardvark consider that carbon is a very effective business management tool. Carbon is inextricably linked to energy use and fossil fuels and subsequently expenditure.

We have developed a number of methods to assess energy use to determine how and where efficiencies can be made and hence financial and real carbon reductions.

Aardvark as a company is experienced in developing commercial climate change programmes. We worked on the steering group that set up the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) in 2000. We currently work with a number of companies in both the voluntary and compulsory ETS scheme both in the UK and Europe providing annual and ongoing assessments, reviews on reduction and offsetting options and working with them to develop long term strategies that enable them to remain competitive.

Aardvark staff are trained to audit and assess to UKAS standards and we have for the last 3 years traded emissions credits on the UK ETS for our own clients. Aardvark also has a separate joint venture company to design, deliver and manage carbon based projects, particularly in developing countries and is experienced in UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism project development, methodologies and assessment .

We are climate neutral ourselves, our preferred approach being green power purchasing, use of biofuels for the companies vehicles, investing in overseas projects and purchasing and surrendering carbon credits within the UK ETS.
