Across the NRL Group, we are committed to understanding our carbon footprint as an organisation, including implementing meaningful changes to reduce our impact on the environment and world we operate within. That’s why in 2021 we partnered with an independent advisor, One Carbon World, to achieve the Carbon Neutral International Standard across our operations.
Identifying ways that we can immediately reduce our footprint, whilst generating long-term plans to continue to improve on this progress each year- including working with carbon champions across our branches to engineer change that means something to our colleagues on a personal level.
Reporting on our carbon footprint
Our latest reporting for scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions for our 2024 operations, recorded 2.99 tonnes of CO2e per employee. This reporting covers all activities across the NRL Group, including our contracting services we deliver to clients. Total carbon footprint for 2024 was 451.22 tonnes CO2e, which is in line with our sustained growth.
Celebrating one tonne per employee carbon reduction
In 2024 we reached an important milestone, as we passed one tonne per employee reduction in our carbon emissions. Having continued to reduce our footprint since we first began working with One Carbon World, it demonstrates significant progress with our environmental goals.
Committed to reducing our carbon footprint
For NRL, the decision to become a carbon neutral organisation was an organic development which has followed our continued focus to support our clients with their net zero energy plans – having already helped to deliver major green energy projects across the globe.
“As a major provider of engineering recruitment and contracting services to the energy sector, we’ve been on a journey with our clients to support their energy transition to greener, cleaner resources. It’s therefore of great importance to us that we’re doing everything we can as a Group to make our own improvements to support this collective effort to strive for net zero.”

Who are One Carbon World?
As a global resource partner of the UN Climate Neutral Now Initiative, One Carbon World is a not-for-profit organisation that advises and supports organisations to measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
They operate in 24 countries, working with businesses to access funding and help them invest in carbon credits to support international projects that offset carbon usage.
What is the Carbon Neutral International Standard?
Once we have undertaken the necessary steps to assess our footprint and offset the carbon we could not reduce, we met the criteria for the international standard to be classified as carbon neutral. The hard work doesn't stop there though, as we continue to identify how we can further reduce our carbon usage and make a positive impact on the environment.
