In the fight against climate change, the voluntary commitment of companies continues to play a central role. At the same time, the framework conditions are changing and previous climate protection labels are being questioned. Climatepartner has therefore developed a new solution, "ClimatePartner-certified," to meet the increased demands for holistic climate protection and, in particular, the reduction of greenhouse gases.

Companies that want to use this new Climatepartner label must calculate their carbon footprint initially and update it regularly. On this basis, even if they only want to use the label for a single product, they must set company-based reduction targets and demonstrably have already implemented reduction measures. In addition, they must contribute to the financing of climate protection projects worldwide. The new "ClimatePartner-certified" label is a confirmation and symbol of this Climate Action Journey by companies.

Individual projects also supported

It refers via a link or QR code to an individual Climate ID website where consumers can fully understand the climate protection commitment of the respective company. At the click of a mouse, it is possible to see, among other things, which reductions have already been implemented and which goals the company is also pursuing in order to achieve long-term climate protection.

As effective climate protection projects continue to be an indispensable contribution to global climate protection, Climatepartner will in future offer companies that are not yet so far advanced in their sustainability strategy or are unable to meet the higher requirements the opportunity to support them. These are usually those companies that are still at the beginning of their Climate Action Journey, or individual projects and one-off services such as events, for which no long-term reduction targets can be defined. In these cases, certified climate protection projects can be supported in order to help generate urgently needed investments for achieving the 1.5 degree target. This voluntary commitment can also be subsequently marked, with the label "Financial Climate Contribution". The previous ClimatePartner label "Climate Neutral" will be phased out after a transition period and will no longer be available.
