New Climate Labels

At the end of October South Pole officially launched the new labels – for Climate Neutrality and Renewable Electricity. Updating and defining the new labels is key for South Pole’s positioning – see more information here.

INTERNAL GUIDANCE on the new labels, as well as general guidance on GHG accounting, can be found here. This is a collection of information (based on work mainly done by Sanna). The document will be continuously updated and will work as a reference for common questions about GHG accounting. Feedback and questions are welcome!

If you have any client using a South Pole Climate Neutral label currently who you believe should be contacted pro-actively now, please let @Marie Gustafsson know.

Please note that it is key to restrict the usage of Climate Neutrality to companies, events and product that fulfil the criteria in order to have credibility behind the labels.  There are some guidance considerations to be taken into account before offering a label to companies in certain sectors, such as fossil fuel companies and airlines, in order to avoid green-washing reputations, see slide 16.
