Carbon Counting & Carbon Neutrality: UK Legislation & How QHSE Aberdeen Can Help

Carbon Counting – How QHSE Aberdeen Can Help

As businesses face growing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, carbon counting has become a critical first step toward achieving carbon neutrality. With UK legislation tightening around carbon emissions and sustainability, organisations must take action now to stay compliant and competitive.

UK Legislation on Carbon Emissions

The UK Government has set ambitious targets to reach net zero by 2050, enforcing stricter environmental regulations. Key legislation includes:

  • Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) – Mandatory for large companies to report energy use and carbon emissions.
  • Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) – For listed companies and large businesses, requiring climate risk reporting.
  • UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) – A carbon pricing mechanism impacting high-emission industries.

Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines and reputational damage.

ESG & ISO 14001: The Foundation of Carbon Management

For many businesses, ISO 14001 certification is the foundation of effective environmental management. This internationally recognised standard helps organisations:

  • Identify and reduce carbon emissions
  • Improve sustainability strategies
  • Ensure regulatory compliance

Additionally, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria are now a major focus for investors and stakeholders. Demonstrating a strong commitment to ESG—particularly in environmental impact and carbon reduction—can enhance your company’s reputation and attract investment.

However, implementing ISO 14001 and achieving carbon neutrality can be complex and time-consuming.
