Corps Security has reached Platinum certification from Neutral Carbon Zone (NCZ), moving up from Gold in its third year of assessment with the independent carbon body. The company reported a total carbon footprint of 6,184.85 tCO₂e for 2025, marking a 19% reduction compared with 2024.
Between 2024 and 2025, the company’s Scope 1 direct emissions decreased by 35%, largely due to the ongoing shift of its fleet to electric vehicles, which cut company car emissions by nearly 39%. Scope 2 emissions from electricity fell by more than 94% after the adoption of renewable energy sources. Scope 3 indirect emissions, which account for most of Corps Security’s total footprint, dropped by 18%, reflecting reductions in employee commuting and homeworking, purchased goods and services, and well-to-tank emissions.
Measured against revenue, total carbon emissions per £1 million of turnover declined by over 29% from 65,919 kgCO₂e in 2024 to 46,678 kgCO₂e in 2025, despite revenue growth exceeding 14%.
Platinum represents the highest level of NCZ certification, recognising organisations that carry out detailed carbon measurement and demonstrate consistent year-on-year emissions reductions. NCZ reporting follows internationally recognised standards, including the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1:2018, and covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
Sharon McLaren, Quality and Compliance Manager at Corps Security, said: “This Platinum certification from Neutral Carbon Zone reflects the sustained decarbonisation effort from people across our organisation. Progress like this shows that our colleagues are equally committed to our sustainability journey, and our efforts are translating into clear results. We will continue building our sustainable practices aligned with our People, Planet, Purpose philosophy.”
For the next reporting period, NCZ has highlighted priorities including improving staff participation in commuting surveys, conducting deeper supply chain analysis, and standardising energy and fuel data collection across the organisation.
