Why?
Too often, climate policies are undermined by unclear objectives, fragmented approaches, and results that remain invisible. The Climate Activator Certification Programme ensures your climate strategy is aligned with globally agreed goals and fully embedded within your organisation and across the supply chain of your products and services.
This programme acts both as a practical management tool and a credible climate standard, giving you control while strengthening your resilience to future regulation. It positions your organisation as progressive, innovative, and committed to building a climate- and nature-positive future.
Who and What?
Are you committed to reducing emissions in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?
If most of your footprint lies within your supply chain, are you ready to take responsibility for those indirect (Scope 3) emissions too?
In both cases, the Climate Activator Certification Programme is designed for you. Certify your organisation, products, and services, and demonstrate credible leadership.
Every stage of your journey is assessed by an independent certification body against established criteria. With a successful outcome, you will:
- Gain the right to use the Climate Activator trademark,
- Make credible climate and nature claims, and
- Earn visible recognition for your impact.
How?
-
- Calculate your organisation or product’s carbon footprint within defined boundaries to establish your baseline.
- Reduce emissions by setting an annual reduction target on track with the Paris Agreement and use the Plan–Do–Check–Act cycle to track progress.
- Take full responsibility for your remaining emissions by:
- Offsetting with verified carbon credits, or
- Investing in emissions reduction or removal projects within your supply chain (insetting).
- Certify your progress through an audit conducted by an independent certification body.

Offsetting
Offsetting your CO₂ emissions is not a substitute for reduction, but it is a vital part of an ambitious and credible climate strategy. While innovation and new solutions will drive long-term reductions towards Net Zero, offsetting provides immediate impact by ensuring residual emissions are addressed today.
By investing in high-quality climate projects, you:
- Prevent emissions from entering the atmosphere,
- Accelerate the transition to a climate- and nature-positive economy, and
- Support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), delivering wider environmental and social benefits.
