Ainsty Risk – helping LoopMe
achieve carbon neutrality
LoopMe – a technology company using AI to enhance brand advertising worked with Ainsty Risk to achieve carbon neutrality.
Ainsty Risk support organisations achieve carbon neutrality as part of their commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility, by helping reduce their environmental impact.
To achieve “carbon neutrality” you must measure emissions, implement reduction strategies, and then offset remaining emissions.
PAS 2060:2014 is the framework to demonstrate “carbon neutrality” by quantifying, reducing, and offsetting your carbon emissions. PAS 2060 will be withdrawn by December 31, 2025, when ISO 14068-1 will take over as the global standard.
BS ISO 14068-1:2023 is the international standard that builds upon the principles of PAS 2060, aligns with other environmental standards, and introduces a structured methodology to achieve and demonstrate “carbon neutrality”.
Ainsty Risk provide:
- 3rd party validation to PAS 2060 and ISO 14068-1,
- Help reducing carbon emissions by identifying reduction and removals actions, & sourcing offsets.
- Help planning and prioritising targets, and
Expert guidance & strategies to measure, reduce and source voluntary carbon offsets.

ESOS (phase 3) delivery stages
Several stages must be concluded to complete your ESOS report and notify compliance to the regulator.
These include identifying and measuring significant energy use and calculating energy intensity ratios, whilst ensuring audits identify all practical and material energy savings opportunities.
Before notifying the regulator, the report and recommended – and quantified – energy savings proposals must be reviewed and signed off by board-level directors.
This should explain – how and when – you intend to reduce energy use, and the underlying assumptions.
The last date to submit your compliance notification is Weds 5th June 2024 (Enforcement grace period until 6 Aug 2024) .
Following notification, you are also required to: maintain documentation, complete an “action plan” (by 5th December 2024) and two subsequent annual progress updates.

ESG -
Environmental,
Social and
Governance
ESOS is an energy assessment and energy saving scheme established by the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme Regulations 2014 (ESOS Regulations). and is amended by the 2023 regulation.
You must take part in ESOS if your organisation, or any UK undertakings in your organisations group, qualifies as a large undertaking on the qualification date.
- it employs 250 or more people
- it has an annual turnover in excess of £44 million and an annual balance sheet total in excess of £38 million
Ainsty Risk are proud to have chartered Energy Manager as registered as ESOS Lead Assessor. We are not part of either any energy bicharge , or equipment supplier and so are truly one of the few independent ESOS assessors.
Also, aligned with our other expertise, we provide ESG regulatory compliance support, providing our clients with policies, procedures, intelligence, and advice on market leading ESG strategies and frameworks.
ESG means using Environmental, Social and Governance factors to assess the sustainability organisations. These factors are seen as best embodying the three major challenges facing corporations and wider society, now encompassing climate change, human rights and regulatory comp.
Reducing your Environmental Impact
Our approach to sustainability – is to work to develop economic and environmentally sustainable solutions.
If we want to prevent runaway climate change, we cannot rely solely on national measures.
Making the challenge real and immediate requires expanding these goals into meaningful metrics for each and every public and private sector organisation.
