Fosroc UK & ROI achieves CarbonNeutral product certification

Fosroc UK & ROI has achieved CarbonNeutral product certification, in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol, the global framework for carbon neutrality.

To achieve CarbonNeutral certification, Fosroc is working with Climate Impact Partners, specialist in carbon market solutions for climate action, and had an independent assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions produced from the manufacture of Conbextra GP, Conbextra HF, Patchroc 250, Renderoc HB45 and Renderoc LA60.

In addition to taking actions to reduce its footprint through reduced energy consumption in the factory, moving to a predominantly electric car fleet, supporting social value projects and improving product ingredients and packaging to be more eco-friendly, unavoidable emissions have been offset through projects including the Renewable energy portfolio and Aqua Clara Water Filters in Kenya.

Craig Harcombe, general manager of Fosroc for the UK & Ireland said: “We are delighted to work with experts in this sector, Climate Impact Partners. They have over 25 years’ experience running some of the most innovative and largest voluntary carbon offsetting programs in the world. Working with them means all the projects we are supporting are independently verified and have a real and positive impact on the climate.” 

A spokesperson for Climate Impact Partners explained: “We work with leading organisations to deliver action on climate change and create a more sustainable world. Our joined-up approach helps organisations address their environmental impacts through high-quality carbon market solutions that also deliver positive impact for nature and local communities.”
