10 Steps to Becoming a Carbon Neutral Business

Page 10 STEP 02: FIND YOUR PARTNER LM WIND POWER’S APPROACH TO FINDING THE RIGHT PARTNER Our choice to work with one of the leading climate consultancies that was able to help with most of our carbon neutrality pledge was motivated by our desire to keep the setup for managing and developing our program as simple as possible. We ran an elaborate Request for Quotation process, scoring three potential partners on criteria such as range of expertise and carbon offset portfolios, responsiveness and global coverage, and of course cost. Our selected partner assisted us on the four main workstreams of our carbon neutrality program – namely GHG accounting, internal reductions, renewable energy and carbon offsetting. We have relied on their expertise for continuous questions on technical queries like calculating emission reductions for a specific site and for reviewing and verifying claims in our carbon neutrality newsletter. To keep all the activities aligned, we benefited from a project manager that kept track of the work happening simultaneously.
