The Climate Activator Certification Standard uses a structured method to accelerate towards zero CO2, on track with the Paris Agreement. All steps taken to reduce CO2 emissions and offset the remainder are independently audited against clear criteria by independent third-party certification bodies. Depending on the certification scope, the Climate Activator Certified label can be used for organisations, products, and/or services.
The ISEAL Code of Good Practice is used as a reference document during programme development, guaranteeing that the programme is developed in line with the latest best practices in standard development. If you are interested in the full development process of the programme, you can read more here.
