Climate Neutrality and Renewable Electricity Labels
Objective:
The South Pole Climate Neutrality and Renewable Electricity Labels support you in communicating your commitments to your stakeholders. Our best-in-class labels are accelerating ambition and instantly recognisable.
South Pole offers Climate Neutrality labels for:
- companies
- products
- events
and Renewable Electricity labels for
- companies
- events
The South Pole labels are closely aligned with international standards such as
PAS 2060 - the leading international standard for demonstrating carbon neutrality, developed in 2014 by the British Standards Institution (BSi).
The underlying
greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting must follow recognised international standards such as the
GHG Protocol or ISO 14064-1.
In addition, South Pole also offers a “Climate Conscious" label for organisations that take climate action without achieving climate neutrality or purchasing renewable electricity.
How can your organisation receive a South Pole Label?
