Footprint certification See all Client services

We provide independent verification that can make your business thrive in a low carbon economy.

Our experience

We developed the first method to certify the carbon footprint of consumer products and services and the first international corporate carbon standard.

We have certified more than 600 organisations with a combined reduction in carbon emissions of 5.5Mt ─ equivalent to £252million in cost savings. More than 27,000 products carry our certification and our Carbon Reduction Label appears on goods worth £3.3billion in annual sales.

How we can help

The Carbon Trust Standard has provided us with independent assurance and a standard which validates that we have a robust environmental-management system in place and that we are achieving meaningful carbon reductions.

Consumers are increasingly demanding high environmental standards in the products and services they buy and use. Businesses that set and meet carbon reduction targets benefit from reduced energy costs, enhance their brand reputation among their customers and mitigate against regulatory risk.

Our certification services can provide you with the data you need to develop a carbon strategy that builds trust with your investors and customers and validates your green marketing messages.

Organisational footprint certification

We provide a range of verification, training and reporting services to organisations and administer the Carbon Trust Standard, which recognises an organisation's carbon reduction achievements.     

The Carbon Trust Standard verifies the carbon footprint and emission reduction of organisations. It was developed in consultation with the private and public sector and is informed by our wealth of experience working with UK businesses to implement carbon management strategies and international standards, such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.  

Addressing supply chain emissions

We are a world leader in product carbon footprinting and provide certification that covers a range of UK and international standards.

We are able to certify the greenhouse gas emissions of your products and services at all stages of the value chain, enabling you to compare the carbon footprint of products and identify carbon hotspots in your supply chain.

Our Carbon Reduction Label offers a simple and effective way for your business to communicate the energy efficiency of its products and services.

And brands all over the world are using it:

  • The Carbon Reduction Label helps leading companies communicate the impact of their product carbon footprinting work.  Over 120 brands that display the Carbon Trust Carbon Reduction Label are making a commitment to reduce the carbon footprint of their product or service.
  • The Carbon Trust Carbon Reduction Label currently appears on products worth €3.8billion in annual sales across 21 countries.
