HOW IT WORKS

Your path to net zero certification

Our Net Zero Certification Programme guides you through four certified milestones to complete Planet Mark Net Zero Certification.

LEVEL ONE

Supporting you to measure your full carbon footprint

The first step on your journey is Planet Mark Certified – Business, where we will support you to measure your Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 carbon emissions. This then provides you with your net zero baseline.

LEVEL TWO

Expert guidance for your transition to net zero

Once you have your net zero baseline, we will support you to set realistic but ambitious near-term and long-term net zero targets and develop a transition plan to enable your advancement to Planet Mark Certified – Net Zero Committed.

LEVEL THREE

Tracking your progress towards net zero

Annual progress reports will track progress against your near-term targets, and determine your readiness to move to the third milestone: Planet Mark Certified – Net Zero Aligned.

LEVEL FOUR

Achieving and maintaining net zero

Upon achieving your long-term net zero targets and neutralising the residual emissions with carbon removal offsets, you will be eligible to move to become Planet Mark Certified – Net Zero Achieved.
