Charge point operator Believ is now Carbon Neutral Britain accredited, reinforcing the company’s drive to achieve a sustainable future.

Believ partnered with the UK carbon offsetting initiative as part of its ambition to measure and counteract its emissions produced directly and indirectly from its business activities.

As a result, the charge point operator has also met the requirements of the ISO 14064 greenhouse gases certification and GHG Protocol Emissions standard, which both refer directly to best practice policy in reducing greenhouse gases through reporting direct and indirect emissions that derive from a business and its wider operation.

Believ’s 12-month assessment period ascertained that the majority (78%) of its emissions derived from its Scope 3 emissions, occurring from staff commuting to and from work, although energy usage from home was also calculated to take into account hybrid working and used in the total figure of business emissions.

Just 2% of Believ’s total emissions originated from the company’s direct impact on the environment, which the firm said highlighted its focus on implementing sustainability at all levels of its business operation.

Guy Bartlett, CEO at Believ, said the accreditation “demonstrates that sustainability is intrinsic to everything we do”.

He added: “In being carbon neutral, we can assure our partners that they are working with a supplier that puts the environment first, throughout our entire supply chain, in pursuit of our mission to deliver cleaner air for all.”
