How to work in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals?

As part of the United Nations, the Irish government has set the target to reduce carbon emissions by 51% by 2030, and achieve a climate neutral economy by 2050.

Ireland follows the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We measure your business' greenhouse gases emissions (GHG)

We assist your business in structuring the monitoring and measurement of its greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases directly contribute to the effects of climate change. Earth's greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. The main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor (which all occur naturally), and fluorinated gases (which are synthetic).
As part of its activities, your company produces greenhouse gases and the goal is to reduce this production.
We are able to assist your business within Ireland and also in other countries where your company is located, so that you can have consolidated data of your business' greenhouse gases impact. This regular measurement (each year) will allow your business to follow its Sustainability Plan and see the impacts of its actions on its GHG.
