In the inaugural year 2022, the Carbon Actions Ratings Systems, will include two ratings logos for display on invoices and marketing material.
Carbon Offsetting Organisation
Classed as Carbon Offsetting on your invoices for the next 12 months. Our ratings logo is available for display on all your invoices stating the carbon included in the services provided is zero.
Carbon Verified Organisations
Not offsetting carbon footprint. Verifications of the carbon usage in tonnes and carbon dollar value. The carbon dollar value is averaged and applied to every dollar included in your invoice. Your customer now has the option to offset your invoice by paying a price inclusive of the carbon calculation. The additional carbon price paid is then collected by your organisation and offset to an accredited offset program.
