Organisational label

The organisational label helps companies demonstrate credible action to measure, manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The label provides a trusted way to communicate organisational carbon performance, emissions reductions and climate commitments to customers, investors, employees and other stakeholders, as set out under regulations like the Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition (ECGT) Directive. It is independently verified against CTSO requirements.

The business case for carbon labelling is clear

Build trust with stakeholders

Give customers, investors and employees confidence that your carbon information has been independently verified.

Support procurement and reporting

Strengthen procurement responses, sustainability reporting and wider stakeholder disclosures with credible carbon information.

Demonstrate verified climate action

Communicate your measured carbon footprint, emissions reductions and climate commitments with greater confidence.

Strengthen environmental claims

Support clear, transparent environmental communications that can stand up to increasing regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny.

What is the organisational carbon footprint label?

One label, multiple opportunities to communicate credible climate action.

The organisational label can be used on websites, reports, email signatures, on-site premises and other internal or external communications.

+ Verified

+ Reductions achieved

+ Reductions planned

+ Reductions achieved and climate projects funded

Once your assurance partner has shared the evidence of your verified claim, the Carbon Trust Footprint Label will issue the label and provide guidance to your marketing teams on how to maximise its impact.
