An environmental mark, a better way of living

July 31, 2009

We have measured our carbon footprint and committed to reduce the carbon emissions associated with our business operations on an annual basis. We have covered 110% of our remaining carbon footprint by investing in Planet Positive accredited carbon‐reducing projects.

Planet Positive is a not for profit organisation providing a global environmental mark and inspiring action on climate change for a better way of living.

A business, event or product is Planet Positive if it has measured and verified a net positive impact on the planet, its ecosystems and its people. It signifies a high standard of environmental achievement by reducing your greenhouse gas emissions. It also demonstrates a positive attitude to climate change and a better way of living.

Business, events, products and individuals carrying this mark are immediately identified as good for the planet.

The boundaries, methodologies and reduction criteria to achieve Planet Positive accreditation are laid out in the Planet Positive Protocol. This is an international standard in carbon measurement, reduction and investment for businesses, events, products and people. It is aligned with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBSCD) and World Resources Institute (WRI) GHG Protocol, ISO 14044, BS 8901 and PAS 2050. In several instances Planet Positive chooses goes beyond these standards in terms of measurement, reduction and offsetting beyond neutral. Our protocol is reviewed quarterly by an independent Technical Committee to ensure that it adopts best global practice and transparency.
