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.
