Carbon Action have recently formed a strategic partnership with South African based companies CoZero and Enviroworks.

CoZero are a carbon consulting firm with a team of sustainability professionals which include Certified Carbon Footprint Assessors (CPSA) and ISO 14064-3 accredited verifiers who understand the principles and requirements for the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Headquartered in Johannesburg, CoZero also employ Socio Economic Development specialists, health professionals and engineers from various disciplines such as environmental, electrical and industrial engineers.

Enviroworks, based out of Bloemfontein, is committed to a sustained, holistic approach to environmental management through the provision of cutting-edge services by means of multi-disciplinary professionals dedicated to continued environmental renewal and development, engaging all stakeholders, including government and the community, impacting today for tomorrow’s legacy; the cornerstone of success being strong partnerships with neighbours, business associates and community members. The company has 25 years of professional service and experience in the environmental field.

Carbon Action training courses are based on the only global standard ISO 14064 and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, and cover areas such as carbon quantification, verification and management of carbon projects.

All Carbon Action training courses have been developed by world renowned carbon emissions experts from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA were the World Secretariat during the development of ISO 14064 and Carbon Action has exclusive rights to deliver CSA’s ISO 14064 suite of five training courses.

Carbon Action also helps clients with their EU-ETS obligations including permitting, emissions reporting, and union registry obligations.

The latest partnership with CoZero and Enviroworks strengthens Carbon Actions position in an ever-growing and competitive market. South Africa ranks 10th among the world’s largest carbon emitters and the announcement to implement a carbon tax in January 2015 by South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan signals a significant step in the right direction in trying to combat the South African carbon footprint.

The South African government had recognised the critical link between long-term environmental sustainability and economic development. This inspires hope that South Africa will experience better resource management and also deal with negative environmental impacts from certain types of economic activity going forwardm which, if not dealt with, will come at a massive cost to the economy.

Carbon Action, together with Enviroworks and CoZero, now have a service offering to help organisation across the UK and South Africa to address climate change, carbon emissions and to become more sustainable and responsible corporate citizens.
