What is Carbon Neutral?

Reduce your carbon emissions - become carbon neutral!

Climate change is rewriting business rules. Today’s business community knows that those who act on global warming and become carbon neutral certified are experiencing significant benefits in a quickly growing carbon conscious market.

Early action on global warming will let you gain competitive advantages while preparing your business for possible future greenhouse gas reduction legislation. Act now against climate change and become carbon neutral certified!

Carbon neutral means that you have calculated and accounted for all of your climate change impact; you have investigated reducing your carbon footprint and you also purchase carbon credits to offset your unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.

At the Carbon Reduction Institute, we acknowledge becoming carbon neutral as great business opportunity and accommodate organisations wanting to lower their impact on climate change by providing new and inventive ways to deal with the challenge. We support those organisations through our NoCO2 business certification programme.

The Carbon Reduction Institute can help your business to become carbon neutral. We specialise in the following areas:

You might be a business owner wanting to reduce the impact of your company on climate change by becoming carbon neutral certified. Or you might be an individual wanting to lower your personal carbon footprint. Whether you are driven by environmental motives or whether you wish to exploit the marketing benefits of taking action on climate change, the Carbon Reduction Institute will tailor its solutions to meet your specific needs and circumstances. Talk to us about how you can become part of the solution for climate change today!

Carbon Neutral Business Certification

The Carbon Reduction Institute offers two different business certification levels depending on whether you wish to become a carbon neutral or a low carbon certified business:

	A NoCO2 certified business is completely carbon neutral and has accounted for, reduced and offset its total operational greenhouse gas emissions as well as the carbon emissions embodied in the products it sells and uses. NoCO2 certified businesses can sell carbon neutral products and services. If you wish to obtain NoCO2 certification for your business, click here.

	A LowCO2 certified business is one that has reduced and offset a percentage of its total carbon emissions. The percentage reduction is displayed in the LowCO2 certification logo so that consumers are aware of the carbon emissions reduction initiated by the company. A LowCO2 certified business sets a goal to become carbon neutral over a certain period of time. LowCO2 certified businesses offer their products with a 'Make It Carbon Neutral' choice. If you wish to obtain LowCO2 certification for your business, click here.

Learn how you can become part of the Low Carbon Economy and exploit the many benefits of becoming a carbon neutral business! For more information on our carbon neutral business certification programme please visit our business certification pages.

Carbon Neutral Options for Individuals

So what can you as an individual do to become carbon neutral? Most importantly, we encourage you to reflect on your lifestyle and identify areas in your life where you can easily cut back on carbon emissions. Catching the train to work, taking shorter showers, or turning off your electrical appliances when they are not in use are all easy-to-implement measures that will reduce your overall impact on climate change but won’t influence your lifestyle negatively.

Beyond reducing your own impact through saving carbon emissions you can offset your unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing carbon credits. The Carbon Reduction Institute offers to offset the climate change impact from your flight, car, holiday or even your family members! Please visit our online calculator for more information on how to offset your carbon emissions and working towards becoming carbon neutral.

NEWS: The government has announced that the PVRP Photovoltaic Rebate Program will now be means tested. Rebates are no longer available to households earning more than $100K taxable income per annum. This is a serious threat to the Australian solar industry and slows down climate change action significantly! Cool the globe - click here to Sign the Petition!

CARBON FOOTPRINT
The term Carbon Footprint describes the total climate change impact of a product, business or individual. We can help you negate your carbon footprint and become carbon neutral! Read more...

CARBON CREDITS
Carbon credits are issued in exchange for projects that reduce carbon emissions. The Carbon Reduction Institute exclusively provides carbon credits from projects that have met our stringent assessment criteria. This ensures that when an offset is purchased, it represents an emission reduction which is real, permanent and goes beyond business as usual. Find out more

CARBON NEUTRAL PRODUCTS
Carbon neutral products are those whose embodied carbon emissions have been offset prior to purchase. All our carbon neutral businesses offer carbon neutral products and services.

OFFSET YOUR CARBON EMISSIONS
Offsetting carbon emissions is a process whereby an organisation or business purchases carbon credits to counterbalance its unavoidable carbon emissions - often with an aim to become carbon neutral. The Carbon Reduction Institute can help you offset your carbon emissions.

Severe droughts are only one of many results of climate change.

Droughts throughout the world are already threatening our fragile eco-systems. Climate change will inevitably lead to more severe droughts and hunger worldwide, whereby the least polluting nations will be the worst hit. Climate change is not only threatening our own future, it is also a question of equity and justice.

Act now against climate change - become carbon neutral!
