Fair Trade House Measures Carbon Footprint

Climate change is one of the leading challenges of our age and has already been shown to increase the risk of drought, flood and extreme weateher patterns in many countries of the world. The current evidence indicates that man made greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to this problem. In recognition of this, we are working with Climate Africa to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions with an effective, long-term strategy that is transparent, accurate and scientifically robust. We have just completed level one of their Climate Standar, which recognises that we have accurately measured and reported our greenhouse gas emissions. 

What is the Climate Standard?

• Retains and attracts an increasingly environmentally-aware workforce
• Alleviates pressures from business and public sector customers that expect carbon footprints to be considered in their supply chain
