Carbon labeling

Carbon labeling is a form of informing customers (as well as contractors or manufacturers) about the carbon footprint of a given product, service, or entire company. Most often, they form a label indicating what greenhouse gas emissions have been released into the atmosphere throughout a product's life cycle (from raw material acquisition and production, through storage, distribution, transportation, use, and disposal).

Carbon labeling allows consumers to choose products that have a better impact on the planet and whose production involves a smaller carbon footprint than, for example, similar products from competitors.

The first in the world carbon labeling proposal was the Carbon Reduction Label, developed in 2006 by the British Carbon Trust. One of the certificates offered on the Polish market is TerGo's Carbon Neutral Certificate.
