How can a business become carbon neutral?

Natural Capital Partners was the first to provide a clear set of guidelines for businesses to achieve carbon neutrality, back in 2002, and every year since then we've continued our commitment to providing a robust framework for credible carbon neutral statements: The CarbonNeutral Protocol. Read on to find out how businesses throughout the world are becoming carbon neutral.

Ensure the quality and credibility of your carbon neutral programme

The CarbonNeutral Protocol, which was first launched in 2002 and is updated annually in line with latest best practice, provides a clear five-step framework for business's carbon neutral programmes.

Using environmental instruments enables you to demonstrate your commitment to carbon neutrality immediately, bridging the gap between your internal reductions and achieving zero emissions, and financing critical emission reduction projects around the world.

The carbon neutral programmes we develop for our clients support renewable energy, emission reduction, forestry and water projects, building low carbon growth and sustainable development in the areas that need it most. Our programmes are customised to meet the specific goals of your business, enabling you to select locations and project types which will deliver the most value across your organisation.

What is CarbonNeutral® certification?

CarbonNeutral certification enables businesses to demonstrate the quality of their carbon neutral action by following a robust, practical, third-party framework – THE CARBONNEUTRAL PROTOCOL. 

Hundreds of businesses around the world use CarbonNeutral® certification to showcase their leadership, engage stakeholders, and differentiate from their competitors. It is backed by THE CARBONNEUTRAL PROTOCOL which was launched in 2002 and is updated annually to follow the latest scientific and industry best practice, with guidance from an advisory group, giving the third-party guarantee you need to demonstrate the quality and integrity of your programme.
