BELFOR UK Achieves NCZ Gold Accreditation For Sustainability Excellence

BELFOR UK – the leading disaster recovery firm – has been awarded the prestigious Neutral Carbon Zone (NCZ) Gold Certification for sustainability excellence, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility.

The NCZ Gold Certification is awarded to organisations that demonstrate exceptional progress in carbon management, measuring, and reducing their greenhouse gas emissions in line with international standards.

As part of the certification process, BELFOR UK has measured, quantified, and reported on all company greenhouse gas emissions, including those from all operations, materials, chemicals, equipment, and the full supply chain. This means that BELFOR UK’s carbon footprint now represents every aspect of its business, including its restoration and reinstatement projects, logistics, and purchasing.

The company has also achieved a 10% reduction in its overall carbon footprint compared to 2023, largely driven by a series of impactful initiatives, including the conversion of warehouse lighting to energy-efficient LEDs at their Falkirk and Cwmbran sites.

In addition, BELFOR UK has offset its remaining carbon footprint through the purchase of verified carbon credits, ensuring the firm maintains a carbon-neutral status while contributing to global sustainability efforts.

Hein Hemke, Managing Director of BELFOR UK, said: “Securing the NCZ Gold Certification is a proud achievement for BELFOR UK, and is testament to the hard work and dedication of our team to make sustainability an integral part of everything we do. The milestone underscores our continued efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and enhance our sustainability practices across the business. We remain committed to setting the bar for environmental responsibility in our industry and contribute to a more sustainable future.”

Alan Stenson, CEO of Neutral Carbon Zone, added: “BELFOR UK’s comprehensive approach to sustainability sets a powerful example of how businesses can take meaningful steps towards achieving full carbon neutrality. Their continued commitment to driving sustainability is truly commendable and I am delighted to award them with the NCZ Gold certification.”
