The Institute conducts a free ongoing review for consumers and investors climate friendly products and companies that are reducing their carbon footprint and meeting their sustainability goals.
- We cannot stop climate change if we rely solely on government regulations.
- It is also vital that consumers and investors support climate friendly companies that are voluntarily offsetting and reducing their emissions.
With over 50,000 followers our ‘Climate Friendly Consumer ’ Twitter X site is a popular source of information for consumers that are concerned about climate change,
Our ‘Support Climate Friendly Companies’ site gives consumers the information that they need to make the right climate friendly buying choices.
What is a climate friendly company?
Being climate friendly means that a company is proactively reducing their carbon footprint to slow global warming and help the environment.
It involves three basic steps:
CALCULATE carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases from activities.
REDUCE emissions wherever possible through increased efficiencies.
BALANCE your remaining emissions with carbon offsets.
Businesses that look to the future are realising the inevitable transition to a low carbon economy with growing pressure from governments and consumers.
