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.
