Climate Neutrality and Renewable Electricity Labels

The South Pole label demonstrates a company's commitment to reducing its emissions in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, which strives to limit global warming to 1.5° Celsius.

South Pole issues Climate Neutral labels to companies, products, sites and events who wish to demonstrate their commitment to climate action. We also offer labels that confirm the use of renewable electricity. All labels align with the latest findings of climate science, adhere to the best-practice reporting guidance from the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Protocol and PAS 2060:2014 – the leading international standard for demonstrating carbon neutrality, developed by the British Standards Institution.

In order to qualify for a South Pole label, a company must:

measure the material emissions associated with its operations
set a reduction target aligned with near-term SBT requirements
compensate for unavoidable emissions
be transparent about these details on its website

Label Name	Who is this label for?
	The Climate Neutral Company label is for companies and other organisations who wish to demonstrate their commitment to climate action. We can also provide a label for organisations who have started on their journey towards climate neutrality but have decided to claim climate neutrality for just one site.
	The Climate Neutral Product label is for companies who wish to demonstrate that their products, or one of their products, is climate neutral. The label can be awarded in parallel with ambitious climate remodelling as part of a Climate Journey.
	The Climate Neutral Event label is for event organisers or any organisation that sets up events and wishes to demonstrate its commitment to climate action.
	The Renewable Electricity label is for companies wishing to demonstrate that they power their global operations with electricity produced from renewable sources, as part of their scope 1 and 2 reduction commitments along their Climate Journey.
	The 'On the way to 100% Renewable Electricity' label is for companies wishing to demonstrate that they power as much of their global operations as currently possible with electricity produced from renewable sources. Due to regulatory barriers and lack of sourcing options, it may not be possible for them to meet all of their scope 1 and 2 electricity consumption to achieve the 100% Renewable Electricity label.
