Invensys PLC achieves the Carbon Trust Standard

Invensys plc has achieved the Carbon Trust Standard in the UK, joining other holders including Marks and Spencer, B&Q, 3M, British Airways, Diageo and The Crown Prosecution Service.

“By achieving the Carbon Trust standard, Invensys has proven that we have taken real action to reduce our carbon emissions over the last three years, reducing our UK emissions footprint by 2.8%. This is a considerable achievement when you consider that this reduction takes into account all the emissions we are directly responsible for, including running our vehicle fleet and powering and heating our offices and manufacturing locations,” said Angel Alcala, Invensys Executive Vice President for the Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability.

“The Carbon Trust Standard shows people which organisations have acted on climate change and committed to ongoing emission reductions, as keeping the certification requires ongoing recertification. As well as helping others to manage their resource consumption and emissions, we have taken action ourselves.”

Some of the projects which helped Invensys to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard involved deploying its own energy monitoring and management technology. The IMServ SMARTMeter, produced by the Invensys Operations Management division, allows Invensys to manage energy consumption on its UK sites based on half-hourly updates.
