Carbon Certification
for Businesses
Join the future-focused businesses measuring and reducing their emissions
Carbon Action
Carbon Action is simple.
Backed by science and aligning with global standards, the certification helps businesses make meaningful claims about carbon management by endorsing their carbon measurement and reduction actions. ​
​​
Getting certified with Carbon Action shows your stakeholders that you're doing your bit.
Why certification matters?
To achieve our national carbon reduction goals, all New Zealand businesses, both large and small, need to take action to reduce their carbon emissions. Getting certified shows your audience that you're on board.
The Carbon Action certification adds value to your organisation by endorsing your environmental claims and giving you something to show for your carbon reduction commitments and actions.
Why Carbon Action?
Carbon Action means quality. Our certifications align with global standards and are backed by science. Our point of difference is our pragmatic and flexible approach. We don't want you to be put off by complexity or a focus on perfection.
We simplify the process to make it accessible and affordable for you to begin your carbon reduction journey. We understand that reducing carbon emissions isn't always an easy or affordable task, especially for small businesses. This is why our certifications don't require impractical and expensive actions such as offsetting emissions.
