Why do we exist ?
We aim to encourage and foster a low carbon economy where consumers are aware of their carbon impacts and can live comfortable and sustainable lives with low carbon footprints. We want to empower businesses with the ability to supply consumers with low carbon products.
What do we do ?
We certify businesses that go carbon neutral. We calculate the greenhouse gas emissions from their energy use, work related transport, and the emissions embodied in the products they sell. We then reduce and offset these emissions and certify them as carbon neutral. Certified businesses are able to display our logos and market their environmental profile to gain new customers.
What opportunities do we have for young people ?
We believe that global warming presents us all with an opportunity to change the world for the better. Young people can help by raising awareness about global warming and carbon offsetting.
