Shaping the Future with RT acoustic
Decarbonization, Carbon Neutral, and Net Zero: We are committed to being part of the solution.
Decarbonization, Carbon Neutral, and Net Zero:
In today’s world, sustainability is no longer a choice—it is a responsibility. At RT acoustic by TCM Corporation Plc., we are committed to being part of the solution. Terms such as decarbonization, carbon neutral, and net zero are often used in the sustainability conversation, but each represents a different level of ambition. Understanding these differences helps us—and our clients—navigate the path toward a greener future. Our mission is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Decarbonization: The Ongoing Process
Decarbonization refers to systematically reducing carbon emissions, particularly from energy, production, and transport. For RT acoustic, this means:
- Designing with recyclable acoustic materials.
- Improving efficiency across our supply chain.
- Developing acoustic solutions that reduce environmental impact without compromising performance.
It is the journey of change—continuous action towards lower emissions.
Our non-recyclable waste is converted into Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) pellets, used for clean
electricity generation.
Carbon Neutral: A Milestone Along the Way
Carbon neutrality means balancing the emissions we create with efforts that remove or offset carbon, such as reforestation or renewable energy credits. Many organizations adopt carbon neutrality as an interim step.
For RT acoustic, it ensures:
- Transparent measurement of our emissions.
- Accountability in reporting.
- A pathway for our products and projects to support carbon-conscious clients.
Carbon neutrality is not the finish line, but it is a necessary checkpoint.
Net Zero: The Shared Destination
Net zero goes further than carbon neutrality. It requires deep emission reductions and limits offsets only to what cannot be avoided. This approach aligns with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C climate target and is rapidly becoming the global standard.
At RT acoustic, net zero means:
- Reducing emissions at the source through better design and cleaner production.
- Supporting clients in achieving LEED, WELL, and green building standards.
- Innovating with products that enable a sustainable future for the built environment.
Conclusion
Decarbonization is the process, carbon neutrality is a milestone, and net zero is the ultimate destination. At RT Acoustic, we embrace all three as part of our sustainability strategy.
