Going Beyond Neutral: Our Carbon Neutral Plus Recertification
Charity, Company News, Insights, Lakes | 10/09/2025At Lakes, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a responsibility. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve been recertified as Carbon Neutral Plus, a milestone that reflects not only our commitment to reducing our impact, but also our determination to go further than “business as usual.”
What Does Carbon Neutral Plus Mean?
Being Carbon Neutral Plus means we’ve taken accountability for 100% of our carbon emissions by measuring, reducing where possible, and offsetting the remainder. But we don’t stop there. The “Plus” is about going beyond neutrality, investing in additional verified carbon reduction projects that exceed our footprint and deliver benefits for communities and ecosystems around the world.
For us, it’s about shifting from doing less harm to creating more good.
Why Recertification Matters
Sustainability is not a one-time achievement, it’s a continuous journey that requires honesty, transparency, and progress year after year. Recertification ensures that:
– Our emissions data remains accurate and transparent
– Our offset projects meet independent, third-party standards
– We’re accountable to evolving best practices in climate action
It keeps us moving forward and prevents complacency.
Our Progress This Year
Every recertification cycle is a chance to reflect on what’s changed and how we can do better. This year, two highlights stand out:
– 100% Renewable Electricity: We’ve switched our UK operations entirely to renewable energy sources.
– Smarter Logistics: We’ve invested in route planning software to cut vehicle emissions and make our transport operations more efficient.
These changes may sound operational, but their impact is real, lowering emissions, reducing costs, and building resilience for the future.
A Culture of Responsibility
As our Operations Director puts it:
“Recertification isn’t just a badge, it’s a reflection of our values. We’re proud to be Carbon Neutral Plus, but even prouder of the culture of responsibility we’re building. Every step we take is a step toward a healthier planet.”
Looking Ahead
Carbon Neutral Plus recertification is a milestone, not a finish line. It’s part of a bigger journey where we’re holding ourselves to even higher standards of social and environmental impact.
We’re excited about the progress we’ve made, but even more about the opportunities ahead. Because for us, sustainability isn’t just about offsetting emissions, it’s about building a business that’s fit for the future.
