Instep
Description:
The Instep Carbon & Sustainability programme provides you with the knowledge to monitor and manage your carbon emission profile. Our regular personalised reports give you a full summary of your carbon emissions over selected periods, with recommendations and measures to reduce your emissions. Instep does not lock its business partners into offsetting, as we believe that your individual action is the key to sustainable development.
The step-by-step scientific process will educate and guide you through the entire programme, enabling you to understand and maximise its benefits.
The Instep process:
Step1 Education: Understanding how climate change and environmental issues are relevant to your own situation is the first step towards overall sustainability.
Step 2. Evaluate: We evaluate the most suitable of the Instep programmes for your activity and if required visit your premises and identify key emission sources to include in your profile.
Step 3 Quantify: We calculate and measure your carbon emissions using scientific methods based on international standards accepted globally.
Step 4 Manage: We send you out regular reports with summaries of activity and recommendations on reducing your emissions further.
Step 5 Action and Reduction: We believe your individual action is the ultimate key to fighting climate change and we encourage taking action as much as possible. The primary purpose of our regular reports is for you to see, understand and take action on your footprint.
Step 6 Certification: After you join the Instep programme you receive an Instep Carbon and Sustainability participation certificate, which shows that you have taken the initiative to manage your carbon emissions. On completion of the programme Instep does a full reassessment of your carbon footprint and certifies your operation depending on the target achieved over the year. We then discuss goals for the future and how we can work together to achieve these agreed goals.
Available Programmes
Instep Carbon & Sustainability Programme
The basic Instep carbon footprint programme follows the internationally accepted WRI Greenhouse Gas Protocol methods with country specific emission factors. Programmes are designed to be completed over a 12 month period, after which you gain full certification. The Carbon & Sustainability programme is suitable for businesses of all sizes and can be applied to residential or individual needs.
Greenhouse Gas Product Lifecycle
The Instep lifecycle assessment programme looks at the greenhouse gas emissions produced over the full lifecycle of a product using the recently published PAS 2050 Guidelines and dedicated software. This is a comprehensive programme with audit verification and labelling options.
Instep Sustainable Events Programme
The recently launched Instep Sustainable Events Programme (ISEP) can help events of any size understand their carbon footprint and enhance their sustainability on a wider scale. Using the British Standard 8901 we help you to put in place sustainable management systems and assess your events’ compliance.
