The simple answer is because WE SHOULD, the commercial answer is because it can INCREASE REVENUES, REDUCE COSTS, ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS & MITIGATE RISK. It also plays a vital part in your Corporate Social Responsibility demonstrating to your customers your commitment to the environment. Currently the largest 11,900 businesses in the UK have to report their Carbon Footprint and reduction strategies within their annual report, so just because you're not thinking about your Carbon Footprint, doesn't mean your customers aren't!
With over a decade of experience within the UK Accident Repair Industry, we are acutely aware of how precious time and resources are, which is why we created CARBON NEUTRAL REPAIR to be UNOBTRUSIVE, SIMPLE, but QUANTIFIABLE. WE populate your bespoke CARBON DASHBOARD for you having collated data about your current operation. WE then identify short, medium & long term carbon reduction opportunities before offsetting the remaining Carbon in order to certify you PAS 2060 CARBON NEUTRAL.

The UK accident Repair Industry embraced PAS125 : VEHICLE BODY REPAIR in 2007, demonstrating to it's customers the standards and consistency of post damage repairs. Fast forward 13 years and now with BS10125 firmly embedded within the industry, it's time for the next accreditation to demonstrate the commitment to the GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS by becoming PAS 2060 : CARBON NEUTRAL.
We understand that many businesses have or are working towards ISO14001 : ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT which will ensure they comply with the stringent environmental laws and regulations but there is only one INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED STANDARD specific to becoming CARBON NEUTRAL and that is PAS2060 : CARBON NEUTRAL
Once you have achieved PAS2060 : CARBON NEUTRAL, we will continue to work with you to reduce your carbon footprint in order that when you undertake your annual re-certification you can demonstrate continual emission reductions, reducing the quantity of Carbon you will need to Offset.
In June 2019, the UK legally committed itself to NET ZERO by 2050 and it is forecast that the price of Carbon Offsetting will increase, making it essential for businesses to continually reduce emissions rather than simply relying on Carbon Offsetting.
Demonstrating your commitment to achieving CARBON NEUTRAL accreditation to your customers and community is vital in promoting your Accident Repair Centre, which is why for every tonne of Carbon we offset through one of our Internationally Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) programmes we will plant a tree in a UK school under your ACCIDENT REPAIR CENTRE BRAND!
We use the local knowledge and expertise of tree planting partners to ensure the right trees are planted in the appropriate places. By planting trees in local schools we are able to support the National Curriculum and raise students knowledge around CARBON EMISSIONS and more importantly how they can reduce their own carbon footprint.
It is reported that covid-19 has cost UK charities in excess of £4.3bn in 2020 alone and with many fundraising events already cancelled in 2021 this figure could be even high for 2021, which is why we will donate £1 for every tonne of carbon we offset to either a nominated charity by the accident repair centre or to one of our pre-selected UK charities.
