IPS Flow Systems Achieves Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation Accreditation
At IPS Flow Systems, we are delighted to announce that we have been accredited as a Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation by the UN-recognised Carbon Literacy Project. This prestigious accreditation is a significant milestone for us, recognising our dedication to upskilling our team and empowering them to take a proactive role in reducing our organisational carbon emissions. It also underscores our commitment to working towards a zero-carbon future.
What is Carbon Literacy?
Carbon Literacy is defined as "an awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community, and organisational basis." The concept revolves around a day’s worth of learning and action on climate change, designed to equip individuals and organisations with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions and take meaningful action.
Our Journey to Accreditation
Our Carbon Literacy training programme, expertly delivered by Richard Cook and Alan Spence, has been central to achieving this accreditation. Through this programme, we have equipped our team with the knowledge and skills to identify and implement opportunities for carbon reduction on an organisational scale. This collective effort is vital as we strive to maintain a low-carbon culture within our organisation and contribute to global climate goals.

By fostering a culture of sustainability, we ensure that every member of our team is actively contributing to our carbon reduction goals.
Commitment to Low-Carbon Culture: This recognition demonstrates our unwavering commitment to maintaining a low-carbon organisational culture. It reflects our proactive approach to sustainability and our dedication to integrating climate-conscious practices into every aspect of our business.
