Carbon Neutral by Carbon Trust

A carbon neutral certification demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to decarbonisation, and the neutralisation of remaining impact through the support of environmental projects.  

What is a carbon neutral footprint?

A carbon neutral footprint is one where the sum of the greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) produced is offset by natural carbon sinks and/or carbon credits.  

What is PAS 2060? 
PAS 2060 is the internationally recognised specification for carbon neutrality and builds on the existing PAS 2050 environmental standard. It sets out requirements for quantification, reduction, and offsetting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for organisations, products, and events. 

  • Benefits of carbon neutrality 
  • Demonstrate a commitment to decarbonisation and a willingness to offset remaining impacts
  • Enhance your green credentials through an annual commitment  
  •  Differentiate yourself as an environmentally responsible brand
  • Contribute to global decarbonisation efforts through the support of environmental projects
  • Align your business to the UN Sustainable Development Goals 

Carbon neutral certification for organisations, sites & events
The Carbon Trust certifies organisations, sites and events that have a robustly measured footprint, a commitment to year on year emissions reduction evidenced in a plan demonstrating how reductions will be met and have offset their remaining footprint with verified carbon sinks and/or carbon credits. 

Carbon neutral certification for products
The Carbon Trust certifies products that are either carbon neutral through upstream natural carbon sinks (eg. plants, soil, oceans, and the atmosphere) or have purchased offsets to the value of their annual emissions. For products using offsetting as a means of compensation, a commitment to year-on-year emissions reduction evidenced in a plan demonstrating how the reduction commitments will be met is also necessary to become certified. The label can be used on the product to communicate its sustainability credentials.
