One Carbon World and UK Retail
One Carbon World is proud to be the carbon removal technical partner to the British Retail Consortium (BRC) — the UK’s leading trade association representing over 200 major retail businesses. Together, we are advancing climate ambition and bringing clarity to the carbon landscape through strategic collaboration.
As Chair of the BRC’s Carbon Removals Taskforce, Faye O’Connor, our Vice President of Nature Based Solutions, plays a pivotal role in guiding the industry’s understanding and uptake of high-integrity carbon removals. The Taskforce is establishing a clear, actionable roadmap for retailers and supply chains, ensuring that removals are not only credible and measurable, but also aligned with science-based expertise.
The Consortium is galvanising the retail sector to reach net zero emissions by 2040. With One Carbon World’s support, BRC members are equipped with the tools and insights needed to decarbonise with integrity, transparency, and impact — helping retailers navigate the evolving environmental landscape while operating competitively, ethically, and sustainably.
