Company: Redshaw Advisors Ltd. T/A Plannet Zero

Why I joined:

Plannet Zero is a new initiative from the environmental market experts Redshaw Advisors Ltd. From over 15 years of risk management guidance in the compliance markets (EU ETS, UK ETS) Redshaw Advisors is as well placed as any to advise on the carbon market and strategies for net zero. In 2019 Redshaw Advisors turned its market-based principles towards the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) to shine a light on world class offset projects and price transparency for the buyer. Our work has been rewarded by numerous Environmental Finance awards and led to the Plannet Zero initiative to help all businesses access the VCM and plan for a low carbon future. We are focused on scaling the VCM to develop the carbon removal projects we desperately need to lower global greenhouse gas and reach net zero by 2050 at the latest.

What I hope to get from it:

We hope to network with SMEs that are committed to planet friendly action. We want to educate and facilitate with net zero strategy advice and guidance to accelerate their environmental goals.

What I do in business:

We want to help businesses calculate their carbon footprint and achieve carbon neutrality on their journey to net zero. Plannet Zero has enabled SMEs to get their low carbon journey started at with its turnkey One Two Zero programme. This sets an easy to measure and  identify emissions reporting boundary, in-line with International carbon neutrality standards, includes offsetting, third party certification and ongoing support for full confidence in your environmental reductions and reporting. Prices start from £1400 per year.

Company actions I have taken to accelerate NetZero:
