3 Trends Affecting Energy and Carbon Managers in 2025

The Carbon Neutral Protocol (CNP) recently introduced significant updates, reflecting the evolving landscape of global climate regulations and corporate responsibility. The protocol is a globally recognised framework that guides businesses toward achieving carbon neutrality, prioritising decarbonisation before relying on offsetting. Understanding these changes is crucial for companies seeking to maintain or obtain CarbonNeutral® certification, a mark of their commitment to reducing their environmental impact.

The Energy Savings Opportunities Scheme (ESOS) is a great starting point for identifying opportunities to reduce consumption, costs and carbon. In 2023, Optimised identified nearly 10,000 tonnes of CO2e savings through ESOS energy audits! But it is crucial not to forget about the long-term goal: net zero emissions, across your value chain.

Shrishti Gupta (Digital Marketing Executive) and Imy Allibhai (Graduate Sustainability Consultant) reflect on our B Corp status, and how Optimised is practicing what we preach by striving towards net zero.

James Wood, Managing Director at Optimised, reflects on the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference, it's impacts, and the year ahead for Optimised in 2024.
