Climate Neutrality is an essential milestone on your climate journey - we help you follow recognised criteria and make robust claims that resonate with your stakeholders.
A credible climate neutrality commitment can help you
We have supported numerous companies with our climate neutral programme. Each client has a unique story that we are proud to be a part of and share.
Climate neutrality has been an established concept since the beginning of this century, and the phrase “carbon neutral" was word of the year in 2006. It combines an organisation's need to account for their carbon footprint and establish a clear reduction strategy, before offsetting unavoidable emissions. While there are clear differences in the current discourse between climate neutrality and Net Zero claims, climate neutrality is still considered a valuable milestone for ambitious companies, where the following conditions apply:
South Pole offers a leading end-to-end service with consulting services, Climate Neutrality labels, renewable energy solutions and the world's largest portfolio of climate protection projects. We work with you each step of the way to climate neutrality.

Communicate your climate neutrality and perform an annual review
In a warming world where natural disasters and shrinking habitats are driving animals to extinction and putting human livelihoods at risk, studies show consumers are willing to pay more for goods and services from brands that are actively involved in the fight against climate change.
Upon completing your journey towards climate neutrality, you are eligible for the South Pole label. You can use this label on packaging, websites, ads, and event materials - anywhere people come into contact with your brand.
