N-Compass Earns World-Class Greenhouse Gas Certification
N-Compass Project Managers Earns World-Class
Greenhouse Gas
Certification
N-Compass
Ltd announced today that their project management
company has been certified under the world leading
carboNZero certification programme by Enviro-Mark Solutions.
This milestone marks N-Compass’ commitment to
environmental leadership, assuring customers with the most
robust evidence that their efforts to manage, reduce and
offset carbon emissions for their organisation are effective
and credible.
As an organisation committed to building a sustainable future, N-Compass is one of the first project management companies in New Zealand to achieve carboNZero certification. This connects them to an inspiring global network, working towards a reduced worldwide carbon footprint.
“Clients who engage our services can now be assured that they are contributing to a global effort in promoting and helping lower greenhouse gas emissions”, says company director Peter Sewell, a Green Star Accredited Professional for over ten years.
After undergoing Enviro-Mark Solutions’ measurement and assessment process, an emissions management plan and reduction targets have been developed with a range of projects being implemented to achieve these goals. These projects include increasing staff awareness and training relating to these efforts, reducing the number of vehicles in the N-Compass fleet, replacing petrol/diesel vehicles with electric vehicles and purchasing low-energy technology. The purchase of carbon credits to offset the remaining GHG emissions balance was implemented to achieve carboNZero certification. This purchase supports projects such as the Hinewai Native Forest project on Banks Peninsula.
Enviro-Mark Solutions CEO, Dr Ann Smith praises the N-Compass commitment to being part of a low carbon economy. “For there to be a real change in the way business is done we need companies to stand up and demonstrate their commitment to a more sustainable future. N-Compass is now actively involved in monitoring and reporting its carbon impacts and we look forward to seeing the difference they can make.”

N-Compass hosted a launch of their
new carboNZero certification at a function at the N-Compass
Offices, Level 3, 130 St Georges Bay Road in Parnell on 18th
October 2018. N-Compass was proud and excited to share this
achievement with key clients, and invited them to join the
movement towards a more sustainable
future.
