Businesses can pick and choose which services they require from a comprehensive list and take advantage of the expertise and support of Green Element to bring their company into the 21st century. Some of the company’s most popular services include:

If you run a business that could benefit from reducing its emissions and reaffirming its commitment to going green, Green Element can help.

One of the most effective ways to become more sustainable is to measure and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions emitted by your organisation. Calculating your entire operation’s carbon footprint will help you to set realistic science-based net-zero targets that align with your company and industry. Green Element’s sister company Compare Your Footprint can help you do just that.

Compare Your Footprint is more than just a carbon calculator. They provide the best quality tools and expertise to support organisations to make a just transition to a sustainable future.

Why does the work of Green Element matter?

We care about promoting strong ethical values and encouraging companies to fulfil their obligations to social and environmental matters.

Green Element is an example of a company that has recognised the need to take action on climate change and, rather than simply critiquing those companies that aren’t fulfilling their obligations, working hard to help businesses make changes that will reverberate for generations to come.
