Universal Floral achieves Carbon Neutral Certification

EntSun News/11102312
LONDON - EntSun -- Biophilic design and plant maintenance specialists Universal Floral have achieved Carbon Neutral Certification in partnership with Carbon Neutral Britain™, demonstrating a genuine commitment to ESG principles and clear alignment with internal sustainability values.

Universal Floral works with clients across the world to transform corporate spaces through plant displays, moss walls and scalable plant-rich living walls.

Achieving carbon neutral status for their UK operations was therefore a significant milestone, embedding environmental and sustainability principles into the heart of the organisation by independently measuring carbon emissions and taking steps to reduce environmental impact.

With UK businesses accounting for up to 85% of UK greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, corporate action is essential in helping to stop climate change.

Between May 2025 and April 2026, Universal Floral offset 25.3 tonnes of CO₂e against 17.5 tonnes, their total carbon footprint.

Marie Caffrey, CEO, Universal Floral said: "Partnering with Carbon Neutral Britain™ to measure and offset our carbon emissions in the UK marks an important step on our sustainability journey.

We have gained a clearer understanding of where our emissions come from and where we can make the biggest improvements. For example, it was identified that our main emissions came through indirect carbon emissions (Scope 3), and for us, this was business travel.

"We are taking action to reduce emissions in this area: encouraging the team to take public transport or arranging virtual meetings in place of domestic flights."

Through the Carbon Neutral Britain™ Woodland Fund™, Universal Floral offset their total carbon emissions through internationally certified carbon offsetting projects chosen for their environmental, humanitarian and ethical impacts:
  • Wind Power, Maharashtra, India
  • Blue Carbon Mangrove Restoration, Pakistan
  • Orinoco River Basin Conservation & Reforestation, Colombia
  • Community Forest Programmes & Education, Tanzania.

Additionally, Universal Floral have contributed to several UK-based initiatives including Haymeadow Restoration and Rewilding, Sea Grass Recovery and Protection and Marston Vale Forest Creation.

Caffrey added: "Achieving this certification is a proud milestone for the entire team, particularly as we have been able to offset well over 100% of our total carbon footprint.

"Taking direct action to reduce our own emissions while supporting verified, world-class environmental initiatives reinforces our commitment to sustainability and our environmental values.

"Moving forwards, we are working towards 2030 and 2050 aligned targets via the globally recognised net-emissions approach, focusing on key emissions hot spots to achieve meaningful reductions."
