Leverage's Key Projects

Carbon neutrality related services

Global climate change has become one of the most serious problems threatening human existence and social and economic development. Climate change is both an environmental issue and a development issue. On September 22, 2020, President Xi Jinping announced to the world at the United Nations General Assembly that China's efforts to tackle climate change will be greatly improved: striving to achieve "carbon peaking" by 2030; and striving to achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2060. In this environment, more and more companies are committing to "carbon neutrality" and "net zero" emissions. To achieve this goal, companies need to prioritize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in their operations, focusing on sustainable internal and supply management. energy consumption of the chain, reducing inevitable carbon emissions.

Leverage's professional team can use its rich experience to pass a series of standardized trainings to help companies master the scientific method of managing energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions; from corporate audits to independent certification and verification services, to help companies achieve carbon neutrality.

Carbon emission verification for Enterprises

Corporate carbon verification is the first step in implementing a carbon neutrality program, enabling companies to accurately assess and report their carbon emissions, identify sources of emissions, and identify areas for improvement.

Leverage can verify the carbon emissions of enterprises based on the ISO14064 international standard, and conduct scientific analysis to form a quantitative report on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals, and set stage goals that are more suitable for their own development, thereby improving corporate carbon emissions.

Product carbon footprint accounting

Leverage will verify the energy consumption, material consumption and emissions of products in all aspects of the life cycle based on ISO14067, PAS2050 and other standards.Through the calculation of the carbon footprint of the product, the carbon emission of the product in each link of the life cycle is confirmed, so as to formulate corresponding emission reduction plans and goals for the enterprise, thereby providing a basis for the management of the enterprise and the supply chain.

Carbon neutral solutions

After companies have quantified their carbon emissions, they need to turn their attention to how to reduce and offset carbon.Leverage will customize a series of carbon offset and carbon neutral strategies and management solutions for enterprises in accordance with the PAS 2060 carbon neutral certification specification, and provide organizations to choose suitable carbon offset projects.

Building on the existing ISO 14000 series and environmental standards such as PAS 2050, PAS 2060 proposes regulations that organizations must comply with to achieve and implement carbon neutrality through the quantification, reduction and offset of greenhouse gas emissions.

CDP Carbon Disclosure Questionnaire Coaching

The CDP questionnaires are divided into three categories: climate change, water security, and forests. The questionnaires provide a framework for companies to provide environmental information to their stakeholders, covering governance and policies, risk and opportunity management, environmental objectives, strategies and scenario analysis. . Among them, the Climate Change Questionnaire aims to enhance companies’ awareness and management of greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigate climate change risks through measurement and disclosure. It is currently the questionnaire with the largest number of responses.。

Leverage can provide relevant guidance for enterprises, collect the status quo of enterprise energy and carbon management, help enterprises complete the CDP questionnaire, and help enterprises achieve better ratings.

ESG report preparation and rating upgrade

ESG is an acronym for the three English words Environmental, Social and Governance, which represent a series of environmental, social and corporate governance factors related to business operations. These factors are often referred to as ESG issues. In recent years, the number of companies that disclose ESG information has increased year by year, and more and more listed companies have gradually begun to strengthen ESG-related management investment and improve ESG performance and information disclosure. Good ESG information disclosure and ESG investment will help promote the coordinated development of economy, society and environment.

Leverage can consult and coach part or the whole process according to your enterprise's actual situation and resources, provide constructive advice or in-depth details, and provide project planning, content writing and rating upgrade.
