Jackson Net ZERO by 2030

Following a considerable amount of work, collaboration, and commitment from teams across the business, Jackson Lift Group (JLG) has now successfully achieved certification to both ISO 14064 and ISO 14068. This is a significant milestone in our sustainability journey and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to managing, measuring, and reducing our environmental impact in a transparent and credible manner.

What do these certifications mean?

ISO 14064 is the internationally recognised standard for greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification and reporting. Certification confirms that JLG has established a robust and independently verified process for measuring and reporting our carbon emissions across the organisations (Jackson Lift Services Limited & Jackson Lift Installations Limited)

ISO 14068 is the internationally recognised standard for carbon neutrality. Certification demonstrates that JLG has taken a structured approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, implementing carbon reduction initiatives, and responsibly addressing any remaining emissions in line with recognised international best practice.

As part of our commitment to carbon neutrality, JLG has purchased high-quality verified carbon credits to compensate for all reported greenhouse gas emissions within our certified organisational boundary. This means that all emissions identified within our organisational carbon footprint have been balanced through independently verified environmental projects, enabling us to achieve carbon neutrality in accordance with ISO 14068 requirements. During the process, we evaluated a number of recognised frameworks, including the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Whilst SBTi is a well-respected programme focused on setting and validating long-term emissions reduction targets aligned with climate science, we determined that ISO 14068 provided a more suitable framework for our current stage of sustainability maturity.

Why is this important?

Achieving these certifications:

1. Reinforces our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices.
2. Provides independent assurance to our customers that our carbon reporting and management processes are credible and robust.
3. Supports our strategic objectives and strengthens our position when working with clients who place increasing importance on sustainability commitments.
4. Demonstrates that sustainability is embedded within the way we operate as a business.
