Consumers want businesses to act on climate change
Michael Rea, Strategy Director of the Carbon Trust, commented: “The fight against climate change has shifted into a new gear following the Stern Report. Our research shows that consumers want to know the carbon footprint of the products they buy. The demands of the low carbon consumer present an exciting prospect for businesses.
“The Stern Review showed that climate change is perhaps this century's biggest threat, it can be tackled and in doing so will open new opportunities for business. Now is the time to take action and Governments, businesses and consumers all need to work together to reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change. We believe that the businesses that embrace the challenge will succeed. Inaction is no longer an option.”

We have helped all sorts of organisations reduce their carbon footprints by thousands of tonnes and then offset their unavoidable residual emissions. They are then CarbonZero. Using the CarbonZero logo on products and services provides a visual and prominent demonstration to consumers that a business is taking its climate responsibilities seriously.
