What is a Carbon Literate Organisation?

Carbon Literacy is an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.

It is achieved through one-day of training, developed by the Carbon Literacy Project. Learners are certified as Carbon Literate after submitting pledges to reduce their carbon impact.

A Carbon Literate Organisation (CLO) has been accredited by The Carbon Literacy Project as making a substantial commitment to Carbon Literacy. The accreditation is important because it recognises a Carbon Literate workforce and an organisation that engages positively with its community to develop and deliver low carbon behaviour.

Ecosurety’s partnership with us exemplifies how a company already leading in the sustainability field can use Carbon Literacy to up its game even further.

Being able to optimise every staff member’s contribution to tackling the climate crisis is what we’re all about, and using that capacity to drive better performance in their stakeholder networks is great to see.
