Certification Types
There is a variety of certification types under the NoCO2 Program depending on your business type and needs. The logos, audit type and certification achieved are explained here:
|
|
NoCO2 Business Certification This is the most widely used certification and is for organisations that want to be sure they have measured and offset all of the emissions they are responsible for. This certification offers the maximum marketing and communications benefits. The audit covers all three scopes of emissions and is the equivalent of your company being carbon neutral. |
|
|
Carbon Neutral Product Certification If your business manufactures or distributes products and you see a benefit to certifying them as carbon neutral, this certification offers the assurance that you have accounted for all of the emissions associated with the production, transport and distribution of the product. A comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is undertaken by our technical audit team and once certified you gain access to the carbon neutral product logo.

|
 |
LowCO2 Business Certification For businesses operating in circumstances which deem carbon neutrality unrealistic, the option for Low CO2 certification is available. The organisation still undertakes a greenhouse gas audit; however it is focused only on the operational impacts of the business, rather than all related emissions. For example, a Travel Agency cannot feasibly offset all of their client’s travel which would be necessary for NoCO2 certification, but still want to offset their office impact and engage their staff. |
|
|
Make it Carbon Neutral Alongside LowCO2 certification, you can also provide the option for your customers to ‘make it carbon neutral’ by offsetting their products or services purchased through you. For example, a merchandise company can easily offer carbon neutral T-Shirts at the client’s request and can pass the cost of this on to the client. Please note; a full NoCO2 audit needs to be conducted to offer this service to clients.

Carbon Neutral Event An event can speak volumes about an organisation’s brand, values and ethics. By measuring the carbon footprint of your event and by offsetting this, you can send a strong message to stakeholders, guests and staff about your climate change action. Promoting this action through the use of the Carbon Neutral Event logo also enhances your sustainability communications. |
