Assurance partners

Every Carbon Trust Footprint Label journey starts with independent, third-party assurance. For organisations looking for labelling and verification, assurance is the first step that turns your internal carbon data into credible, legally resilient claims that mitigate the risk of greenwashing.

For assurance bodies looking to partner, joining up with the world's most recognised carbon footprint label* opens an efficient, high-value route to market in a rapidly expanding, competitive and increasingly regulated verification space.

*YouGov research in 2023, based on 11 global markets: China, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden, the UK and the US.

Self-declared sustainability labels no longer hold up under regulations like the EU's Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive. Independent third-party assurance is essential to turn internal carbon data into audit-proof, legally resilient claims that shield your brand from potentially costly greenwashing penalties.

We partner with accredited Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) – specialist assurance organisations that assess and verify climate-related data against recognised standards. Our CAB partners undergo assessment, training and ongoing oversight by us to ensure they consistently apply the requirements of the Carbon Trust Footprint Label.

By choosing a Carbon Trust-approved CAB, organisations benefit from access to trained and monitored third-party experts who understand the requirements of the Carbon Trust Footprint Label. This helps streamline the assurance process while providing confidence that climate claims have been independently reviewed and verified in a consistent and credible way.
