Chicago, IL, February 12, 2020: Net Zero Analysis & Design Corp. is pleased to announce that Bazzani Building Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is the first construction company to achieve carbon neutrality through Net Zero Analysis’ Climate Change Action Program For B Corps.
“Because the construction industry is so large and varied in its scope and products, figuring out what Bazzani’s carbon footprint is for each project and for our general yearly business operations presents quite a challenge. We’re ready to meet that challenge, and are committed to carbon neutrality, even if we have to do it incrementally,” said Peter Skornia, President.
“Leveraging our qualifications as ISO14000 and 14001 – 2015 International Auditors, our expertise in carbon footprint calculation, and decades of experience in the building design, building science, and construction fields, we are working with Bazzani to guide them through gathering relevant data concerning their operations, and to determine both their immediate and future carbon-reduction goals,” explained George Sullivan, CEO of Net Zero Analysis. “Applying our web-based Carbon Footprint Calculator to Bazzani’s energy-use data was our first step. We then developed a Carbon Replacement and Energy Efficiency Plan, substituting high carbon intensity fuels and energy sources with ones that have a lower carbon intensity. Due to the nature of the construction industry, climate change action requires a creative approach. Becoming Carbon Neutral is a great way for a premier design/build firm like Bazzani Building to continue to lead in the marketplace.”
Stephen Watkins, CEO of Entrex added, “The combination of Net Zero’s international carbon footprint calculator, and the Entrex platform gives climate-concerned companies a user-friendly way to navigate a rigorous carbon-neutrality verification process and to receive assigned and retired regulatory compliant carbon offset securities. Carbon offsetting is an important prong in an organization’s climate action goals, whether that’s to offset 10% or 100% of its carbon footprint. It’s great to have Bazzani on board as one of the Entrex Carbon Market Members.”
