All Ink-lusive FAQs
What is Includability?
Includability is the standard for companies committed to creating an inclusive and mentally healthy workplace culture. See our guide to Includability Here
What does it mean to be a purpose led business?
Your company’s purpose is bigger than its product or service and is shaped by the desire to positively impact the planet and society.
What is a carbon footprint?
This is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a particular individual, group, community or organisation.
What are Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?
Greenhouse gas emissions are broken down into three categories to help us understand where they came from:
- Scope 1 includes the direct emissions from the activities of company owned resources
- Scope 2 includes the indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy from a utility provider
- Scope 3 includes all the indirect emissions not included in Scope 2 that occurs in a company’s value chain
What is carbon offsetting?
This allows you to invest in local and international environmental projects that balance your carbon footprint, either individual or as a business.
What is Carbon Neutral?
Being carbon neutral relates to the balance between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon. To therefore achieve carbon neutral status, your company has to create a carbon reduction plan, measuring and reducing operational carbon, the purchase golden standard offsets equivalent to your carbon footprint.
How do I certify as being Carbon Neutral?
PAS 2060 is the specification by the British Standards Institution that details how to demonstrate carbon neutrality. Out lovely friends at Planet Mark will be able to support you through this process brilliantly.
What is Net Zero?
This means achieving a balance between the carbon emitted into the atmosphere, and the carbon removed from it. This balance – or net zero – will happen when the amount of carbon we add to the atmosphere is no more than the amount removed. True Net Zero is therefore about reducing emissions to a minimum and balancing anything we do emit by removing carbon from the atmosphere using carbon sinks or carbon storage technology.
So what is the difference between carbon neutral and net zero?
Carbon-neutral means purchasing carbon reduction credits equivalent to emissions released, without the need for emissions reductions to have taken place. Net zero means reducing emissions in line with latest climate science, and balancing remaining residual emissions through carbon removal credits.
What are the UN Sustainable Development Goals?
These are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere.

- Goal 17: Partnerships For The Goals - Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development
What is a Decade of Action?
In a bid to accelerate sustainable solutions to all the world’s biggest challenges, the Secretary General of the United Nations called on all sectors of society in 2019 to mobilise and deliver the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, through a decade of ambitious action. The focus was laid out on three levels:
- Global Action by aiming to lead in terms of policy and providing the resources to do so.
- Local Action which will see policies enacted by organisation such as governments and local authorities.
- People Action which focuses on the ground level choices and decisions the public makes individually.
What is Planet Mark?

Is there a benefit to holding a sustainability certification?
