Assurance partners


Every Carbon Trust footprint label journey starts with independent, third-party assurance.

Find an assurance partner

For organisations looking for verification, assurance turns your internal carbon data into credible, legally resilient claims that mitigate the risk of greenwashing. With assurance, your business can satisfy growing investor, customer and regulatory expectations, including the EU Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive.

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 label schemes. 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 label schemes. This helps streamline the assurance process while providing confidence that climate claims have been independently reviewed and verified in a consistent and credible way.
