Climate Standard is a start-up and an independent verification body committed to building trust in Climate Neutrality.
We developed a methodology to verify and certify climate-neutral companies, products and events in hours employing the international standard PAS2060 as its foundation integrated with an in-house proprietary scheme. At the end of the verification, Climate Standard releases an eco-label valid for 1-year.

Our methodology complies with the EU Green Claim Directive to combat self-declarations and greenwashing.
The verification is easier and faster thanks to a proprietary platform, proprietary algorithms, and machine learning techniques.

To keep the methodology impactful, Climate Standard is supported by a free and independent scientific committee of professionals, experts and academics.

Additionally, Climate Standard serves as a verification body for global standards about the carbon footprint of both products and companies. Noteworthy standards in this realm encompass GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and ISO 14067.

As all the independent verification bodies should do, Climate Standard does not perform emission calculation services, reporting, carbon credit sales or other types of consulting that could create conflicts during certification.

The semi-automated climate data validation process does not allow any data falsification or discrimination among applicants.

In the case of Product conformity, only the status of a single product line is verified.

In the case of Brand conformity, the entire activity of the Brand can be considered Climate Neutral. In this case, the organization has the right to show the certification on all its products.

In both cases, the final Green Claim is retroactive, which means that it declares the achievement of the status for the previous year and is valid for 1 year from the date of verification.

The organization must:

1) have an annual carbon footprint, product or corporate as chosen, from the year prior to applying for certification,

2) have offset 100% of these emissions with valid carbon credits (validity depends on meeting Climate Standard requirements),

3) sign up to smart targets for future emission reductions.

If you do not meet these requirements but would like to obtain the label, or if you would like more information, the Climate Standard team is at your disposal.

Absolutely! Verifying Climate Neutrality is the only way to avoid Greenwashing associated with claims without independent verification.

For your consumers, it’s about transparency and reputation. Plus, our labels are a point of differentiation of your product from competitors and influences consumers in their everyday choices.

You have two options:

1) if you do not yet have the requirements, we can help you figure out how to get them and, if needed, point you to the best consultants in your area to support you in carrying out the application,

2) if you already have all the requirements, you can contact us or use the private area to proceed with the submission of the documentation yourself in complete autonomy by following the steps indicated just inside the private area.
