Walking the Talk: Carbon Management at PE INTERNATIONAL At PE INTERNATIONAL we are engaged in a number of initiatives aimed at setting and further developing standards in the areas of carbon accounting and reporting, both for product and corporate applications. Our senior staff are involved in the development of key global standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative. Our software was independently certified as meeting all the corporate reporting criteria set by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and we were therefore selected to be CDP’s first carbon calculation partner. As a ‘Gold Partner’, we are proud to be engaged in the further development of CDP’s carbon reporting requirements. In addition to these involvements, we are active in a number of other carbon accounting and reporting initiatives and programs on a regional and country level. PE INTERNATIONAL has been carbon neutral since 2006. This has been achieved by applying the sustainability principles of avoidance and reduction prior to offsetting any remaining emissions with high-quality certificates. This approach also conforms to the principles of the new carbon neutrality standard PAS 2060. We are strongly motivated to further improve our own performance.
