Carbon Neutral Product and
Carbon Neutral Service
Certification Standard
The Carbon Neutral Product and Carbon Neutral Service certifications are for businesses that want to offer carbon neutral products and services.
Carbon Neutral Products and Services Certification
All businesses certified under the NoCO2 Certification can automatically supply accredited carbon neutral products and services.
For other businesses, who may not want to ‘go the whole hog’ but still demonstrate leadership in the fight against climate change, CRI also offers the Carbon Neutral Product and Carbon Neutral Service Certification Programs.
Businesses that offer certified carbon neutral products and services position themselves to attract and retain consumers who want to reduce their impact on the climate.
The Program logo alerts climate-conscious consumers about the action your business has taken in offering carbon neutral products or services and provides them confidence that their purchasing decision will result in positive action in reducing carbon emissions.
How to get started
The first step to certifying a product or service as carbon neutral is to conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) by our technical audit team.
The LCA calculates the carbon footprint of the product or service throughout its useful life from manufacture, including all inputs, to transportation and usage through to disposal or cessation.
What are some other advantages?
- Lower cost than some other certifications
- Enables marketing to organisations with strict sustainability policy around procurement
- Enhances environmental image in market place
- More media opportunities
- Attracts more Gen Y employees

How to certify your business
CALCULATE
We complete a carbon audit of your business to calculate its carbon footprint. Once your business is certified, audits are completed annually.
REDUCE
Your audit will highlight options for emissions reductions. Our simple to use, online reporting tools will help you track the reductions you have achieved.
OFFSET
Offsetting CO2 emissions is done by purchasing high quality carbon credits which are generated as a result of energy efficiency projects conducted around the world.
