Companies can’t just make empty promises anymore; they need to show real progress in cutting carbon emissions, saving energy, and using resources wisely.

To meet these demands, businesses follow established standards like ESG, which help them operate in a responsible and sustainable way. Certifications like LEED and BREEAM set high standards for energy-efficient and eco-friendly buildings. On top of this, many companies have set big goals to reach net-zero emissions, which means balancing out all their greenhouse gas emissions by cutting them and using clean energy. For a deeper dive into how these efforts align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 13 (Climate Action), check out our detailed blog here.
However, the challenge today is not only to plan for the future but also to deliver clear, real-time results that can be tracked and shared. Being open and accountable is key, companies need ways to measure their environmental impact accurately and communicate it clearly. Making sustainability visible helps people get involved, builds trust, and leads to stronger, more successful businesses.
Understanding ESG, LEED, BREEAM, and Net-Zero targets
To understand how Energy Floors uses kinetic energy to support sustainability efforts, it’s important to know the frameworks and goals organizations are working to meet:
- ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) refers to a set of criteria that investors and stakeholders use to evaluate how responsibly a company operates. The Environmental aspect focuses on a company’s impact on natural resources and climate change, including energy use and emissions. The Social and Governance components cover areas like employee welfare, community engagement, and transparent leadership.
- LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification that rewards environmentally friendly and energy-efficient building practices. LEED-certified buildings meet high standards for water and energy savings, indoor air quality, and sustainable site development.
- BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is another widely respected green building certification system that assesses a building’s environmental performance throughout its lifecycle. BREEAM promotes sustainable design, construction, and operation practices.
- Net-Zero Targets refer to commitments by organizations or cities to balance the amount of greenhouse gases emitted with the amount removed from the atmosphere, effectively reducing their carbon footprint to zero. Achieving net-zero requires a combination of cutting emissions and increasing renewable energy generation.
