Carbon Trust Standard

The Carbon Trust Standard is a certification mark of excellence, designed to recognise organisations for real carbon reduction.

To qualify, organisations must measure, manage and genuinely reduce their carbon footprint and commit to reducing it year on year.

Benefits of achieving the Standard include:

Independent validation of your environmental credentials
Meet increasing consumer demand for environmental credentials and accountability
Increase ability to meet environmental procurement requirements
Improve investors’ view of your organisation’s future
Retain and attract an increasingly environmentally-aware workforce
Meet legislative requirements

Certification is valid for two years, after which, organisations must undergo recertification.

Conformity with Carbon Trust Standard's standard is verified by an independent organization (third party) following ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol
