Who is the Carbon Trust?

The Carbon Trust is a globally recognised organisation dedicated to helping businesses, governments, and institutions reduce their carbon emissions and operate more sustainably. Having over 20 years of experience as climate pioneers, the Carbon Trust is on a mission to help businesses reach a decarbonised future on their journey to net zero emissions; making them the ideal partner to work with when reporting our renewable electricity.  

Their accreditation process is rigorous, ensuring only those with genuine and substantial commitments to reducing carbon footprints are awarded. 

What is the Carbon Trust Accreditation?

The Carbon Trust Accreditation is a mark of excellence, supporting organisations that are actively working to measure, manage, and reduce their carbon emissions. It is a globally recognised certification confirming that our green electricity products are 100% renewable; meaning you can trust that all of our renewable electricity has been generated entirely by clean energy sources (such as hydro, solar, or wind). 

How does this benefit your business?

The Carbon Trust provide ongoing monitoring of our processes to guarantee that our renewable energy is powered from certified clean sources throughout the entirety of your contract. When choosing our renewable products, you’ll also receive a renewable commitment certificate issued alongside your tree planting commitment certificate and net zero badge. These items can be used in your own business advertisements and marketing, showcasing your dedication to a decarbonised future. 

Additionally, this means that your business can rest assured knowing that you can report zero carbon emissions emitted for purchased electricity in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance. Or in simple terms, it’s a big step on your journey to net zero. 

Displaying your commitment to net zero, signals to stakeholders, investors, and customers that your business is serious about its environmental impact, enhancing your corporate image and attracting new business. The Carbon Trust accreditation sets your business apart by demonstrating a proactive approach to environmental responsibility, making your company a preferred choice for eco-conscious partners.
