What is Net Zero and how can we help?

Achieving net-zero emissions means our economy either emits no greenhouse gas emissions or offsets its emissions, for example, through actions such as tree planting or employing technologies that can capture carbon before it is released into the air. This is essential to keeping the world safe and livable for our kids and grandkids.

We can help your organisation implement a plan to ensuring your organisation meets the Net Zero initiative required by the Government.

The plan will provide assurance to your client that you have complied with current Government Guidance.  We can assist in developing a bespoke Carbon Reduction Plan which meets the Net Zero targets and provide other support as required.

We set up and agree SMART targets identified from the companies main areas of Environmental Impact and Risk. There is a direct link between energy savings and cost savings which is something that an Environmental Management system should deliver if its implemented effectively.

By far the best team I've ever worked with. They truly understood the look I was going for and completely nailed it! I would highly recommend them as a company, you simply just won't find any better team!

Aura Brooks

During the time I worked with the Sinclair Consultancy I found them to be dedicated professionals who always strived to find the best solution to any challenge set. During their tenure as QHSE Manager at OIS they proved themselves to be a valuable members of the senior management team, reacting positively to all the requirements of the business, project and Client demands.

It's clear that the company is knowledgeable in Quality Health Safety & Environmental practices within the oil and gas sectors of the Industry and is very competent in establishing and Maintaining Management systems which meet ISO9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.

It was a pleasure working with the company and I would welcome any opportunity to work with them again in the future.
