Keenan Recycling becomes UK's first waste company with ISO-verified carbon emissions
Keenan Recycling, renowned provider of sustainable waste management solutions, has had its baseline greenhouse gas emissions inventory formally verified against the internationally recognised ISO 14064-1 standard by the British Standards Institution.
This achievement, says the company, marks it as the UK's first waste recycling company to have carbon emissions verified by BSI.
The verification by an accredited provider (BSI) validates Keenan Recycling's robust and transparent approach to measuring and reporting its carbon emissions. This independently verified inventory establishes a reliable baseline against which the company's Net Zero plan is built, providing a solid foundation for future emissions reduction efforts.
"Our carbon inventory provides the foundation for our carbon reduction planning," says Fergus Healy, head of strategic development & net zero at Keenan Recycling. "Having it verified against ISO 14064-1 by BSI is a significant step in ensuring our emissions reporting meets internationally recognised standards. This achievement further sets us apart in the industry and underlines our commitment to meet our SBTi targets through credible, science-backed sustainability initiatives."
ISO 14064-1 is a globally recognised standard that provides a framework for organisations to quantify, monitor, and report greenhouse gas emissions.
This verification validates Keenan Recycling's robust approach to measuring and managing its greenhouse gas emissions, reinforcing the company's commitment to transparency, accountability, and Net Zero leadership in the waste sector.
