GO 2 CARBON NEUTRAL Certification

The "GO 2 CARB0N NEUTRAL" service for a net zero carbon footprint

Certification Carbon NeutralityRINA has developed the "GO 2 CARB0N NEUTRAL" certification service, that allows you to declare whether a subject (e.g. the organization itself, their strategic product, a type of events they organize) is "carbon neutral".

The scheme is based on a regulatory document composed of requirements in line with the ISO 14068-1 standard and the PAS 2060.

What do we offer?

The certification ensures a  systemic approach to carbon neutrality management by the organization, and if the subject is a product, it ensures  traceability management of the delivered product batches.

The certification also entitles you to display of a logo.

Who is the service for?

The "GO 2 CARB0N NEUTRAL" certification service is applicable to all organizations.

How do I get the "GO 2 CARB0N NEUTRAL" certificate and logo?

To obtain our certification,  you must implement the requirements of the regulatory document and begin the certification process.

The main steps in the certification process include:

- completing an information questionnaire, receiving and accepting an offer from RINA, and concluding a contract

- A document review and interviews

- An on-site audit

- Upon successful completion of these steps, RINA will issue a "GO 2 CARB0N NEUTRAL" certificate, which is valid for three years and subject to periodic annual checks.

This is the public declaration of carbon neutrality made by an organization that can take the form of a public statement, symbol or graphic and can be made on product labels or packaging, on documentation associated with products, on technical bulletins, through advertising as well as through digital or electronic media such as the Internet.
Carbon neutrality is the condition in which, during a given period, there has been no net emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere as a result of the reductions and removals of greenhouse gases associated with the subject and which may include greenhouse gas compensation measures that meet certain criteria.
