Why go Net Zero?
The UK has pledged to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 and the Government has recognized the significant contribution UK business needs to make to turn carbon ambition into carbon action.
In a recent YouGov poll, 2/3 of adults think the UK should strive to be a global leader on climate action. In another survey 8 out of 10 Trident customers think maintaining a focus on sustainability & Net Zero will stand their business in good stead for a quicker recovery post-Covid-19.
Customers want to know what businesses are doing to help solve the climate problem. Achieving a standard offers you the opportunity to promote your commitment to Net-Zero and adds value to your business.
Greta Thunburg
Solving the climate crisis is the greatest and most complex challenge that homo sapiens have ever faced. The main solution, however, is so simple that even a small child can understand it. We have to stop our emissions of greenhouse gases.
What are the benefits of setting a Net Zero target now?
Every business has a role to play in tackling climate change, but it also makes good commercial sense. Businesses taking positive action to tackle climate change benefit from:
Enhance Reputation
Promote your Net-Zero credentials adding value to your brand.
Reduce Costs
Save money on energy use and transport to improve our bottom line.
Increased Resilience
Take action now to protect from future regulation.
Competitive Advantage
Innovate & diversify.
Investor Confidence
Investors are increasingly demanding action on CO2e.
Talent Attraction
The next generation of candidates want to work for companies that are taking action on climate.
Four simple steps to creating a successful Net Zero carbon roadmap
From pre to post-sales, here are a few ways we stick to our 360 promise throughout your partnership with Trident:
Simple Carbon Reporting with Independent Validation
We’ve partnered with future Net Zero (FNZ) to get 10,000 businesses to start measuring their carbon footprint!
FNZ is a carbon management platform that brings together your energy, transport, and financial data all in one location. Our experts can help to collect your data, highlight areas that may need attention first and reward you for strengthening your commitment to carbon reductions through an accreditation program.
Start your journey by exploring your service level options and prices.
How it works?
Set up your account and create your dashboard
- Easy Carbon Footprint benchmarking and certification.
- Track & report your progress to stakeholders.
- Selectable intensity metrics.
- Multi-site enabled. Report and compare individual sites.
- Access to Trident’s Experts for specialist support.
- Future upgrades for detailed analysis and emissions off-setting.
Target and Track Attainment Levels
Attainment levels can be targeted and once attained are automatically reported on the user dashboard.
Annual Certification
Users of the FNZ Standard are annually certified and their progress reported. Users can use this accreditation for publication to their customers and wider stakeholder groups.

Net Zero Implementation
Trident has joined forces with a range of approved Net-Zero implementation partners from on-site heat generators to carbon offsetting providers.
See our full list here
Combined Heat & Power (CHP)
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a process that captures and utilises the waste heat produced by the electricity generation process.
Battery storage
Provides better control of your energy usage and gives offers numerous benefits for decarbonisation.
Solar PV
Switching to a green energy supply is an integral part of any Net Zero strategy. Solar PV is now a cost effective way of generating your own.
Wind Generation
If you have the space, Wind is a completely clean and renewable energy source.
Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS)
BEMS monitor and control services such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, ensuring the building operates at maximum levels of efficiency removing wasted energy usage and associated costs.
EV Charging
With all new vehicles to be electric by 2030, developing your EV capacity is essential to support your staff shift to electric vehicles.
Air source Heat Pumps
Can provide both heating and cooling and deliver 30% carbon savings compared to a gas boiler.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Similar to air source heat pumps but uses the heat from the ground instead. Requires space and excavation work.
Voltage Optimisation
Reduces the voltage of the incoming supply to an optimum level. Can be used in most settings and delivers financial savings with a solid ROI.
Power Factor Correction
Power Factor Correction (PFC) is an energy saving technology. Through improved energy efficiency, PFC can reduce electricity costs by eliminating Reactive Power Charges.
Carbon Offsetting
Carbon offset schemes allow companies to invest in environmental projects that sequester CO₂e out of the atmosphere in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere.
Corporate PPA / GPA’s
PPA’s & GPA’s allow companies to purchase their green energy directly from a generator securing a green supply for years to come.
Waste Heat to Energy (WtE)
WtE captures heat created from processes and converts into either power or thermal units and provides significant carbon and cost savings. WtE captures heat created from processes and converts into either power or thermal units and provides significant carbon and cost savings.
Refrigeration
Refrigeration is a significant contributor to GHG emissions from the use of electricity and the leakage of Hydrofluorocarbons. Consider upgrading to more efficient equipment and using lower emission refrigerants .
Variable Speed Drives
Reduces the speed and torque of the motor to more closely match the environment and requirements of the process, rather than running at full speed all the time – reduces the amount of electricity and carbon used.
LED
Upgrading your lighting to LED’s offers a quick and easy way to reduce your carbon and delivers significant savings and ROI.
