Carbon management
Our two carbon management programmes - Carbon Efficient and Carbon Neutral - enable our clients to understand and manage their emissions, set targets, and take action.
Whether your organisation is just starting out on its carbon journey, or looking to take things to the next level, our programmes can be tailored to your needs.
Clients who go through our Carbon Efficient programme achieve:
A Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions profile aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting Standard and ISO14064-1:2018
Emissions targets aligned with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) methodology
Identification (year 1) and implementation (year 2 onwards) of emissions reduction & efficiency options to meet targets
Our Carbon Efficient programme takes around 12 weeks from start to finish and we provide you with support all the way through, to ensure you and your team build your capability along the way. We work to your level - whether you need us to be more hands on with the technical stuff, or are just looking for advice and guidance to steer you through the process, we’ll flex to the specific needs of your organisation and team.
Oxygen Consulting re-validates Carbon Efficient and Carbon Neutral annually, to ensure your organisation is supported to achieve credible, demonstrable progress.
Clients who go through our Carbon Neutral programme achieve everything included in Carbon Efficient and also choose to offset their residual emissions with the purchase of carbon credits.
Oxygen Consulting offers clients two types of offsets - native New Zealand forestry regeneration credits (these are NZUs certified under the New Zealand ETS) and certified Gold Standard verified emissions reductions (VERs), which come from high quality emissions reduction projects verified by the Gold Standard Foundation (Geneva, Switzerland).
Native New Zealand forestry regeneration projects include Flax Hills, Kaikoura; Banks Peninsula, Canterbury; and Mason Hills Canterbury. Gold Standard verified emissions reductions include include domestic and international projects in Energy efficiency, PV, biogas, wind, biogas, geothermal, hydro, and forestry.
Our native New Zealand forestry credits are sourced by Forever Forests and our Gold Standard VERs are sourced by Carbon Market Solutions. Clients can choose the vintage and geographical mix they are interested in to make a meaningful impact while also offsetting their emissions.
