The Carbon Verified badge is a clear sign that a business has taken credible, measurable action to understand and reduce its carbon footprint. When you see this badge, you can trust that the company's environmental impact has been independently assessed and verified. No vague claims, just accurate, data-backed results.

For businesses, achieving Carbon Verified status demonstrates transparency and accountability, helping you build trust with customers, investors and regulators. It's a powerful way to show that your sustainability efforts are genuine, robust and professionally validated.

The Endorsed badge represents a broader, more comprehensive commitment to environmental responsibility. It shows that a business is not only addressing its carbon footprint, but is actively embedding sustainability across its entire operation — from procurement and energy use to waste reduction and community engagement.

To the public, it's a sign of a company that genuinely prioritises the planet. For businesses, being Endorsed means being recognised as a leader in environmental stewardship in your respective industry. It demonstrates that you're not just ticking boxes, but driving meaningful change across your organisation.
