Certified CarbonNeutral®

We registered the CarbonNeutral® trademark in the 1990s. It is awarded to a product, service or activity that has completed a process laid out in our protocol using the parameters of the specific brand mark to be applied:

• Assessment of CO2 emissions by an independent third party
  
  
• The emissions have been reduced to net zero through internal reductions (change of a manufacturing process for example) and best practice external reductions (carbon offsetting)
  
  
• There is a commitment to reduce emissions internally on an on-going basis and to document progress
                                                                                                           

The 'rules' of the Protocol are discussed and agreed with an Independent Advisory Group of NGOs, scientists and business, and they ensure any CarbonNeutral claims have real integrity and follow best practice.
