UK Carbon Association Code of Conduct
The UK Carbon Association Code of Conduct is based on the principals of the International Carbon Reduction & Offset Alliance (ICROA), with a few additional pledges (where relevant or appropriate for your company or organisation):​
​
For all Members
-
Perform carbon measurement for your company or products & services in accordance with recognised standards.
-
Encourage clients or consumers to assess emission reduction opportunities and prioritise cost-effective actions.
-
Use credible carbon credits in accordance with international standards and programs.
-
Act with skill, care and integrity.
-
Commit to collaboration and shared learning, including engaging with other UKCA members and promoting best practices.
-
Raise awareness of climate change and the importance of achieving carbon net-zero, in seeking to rebalance the climate.
​
For Members who provide Carbon reduction advisory services​ and/or Carbon offsetting schemes
-
Encourage clients or consumers to set challenging targets to reduce their carbon footprint or go beyond business-as-usual.
-
Use third-party registries to retire and remove carbon credits used for offsetting; otherwise seek to ensure carbon credits are only used once.
-
Encourage clients to communicate their carbon status and footprints, including emissions associated with the organisation, product, service or event, as well as details about actions to reduce and offset emissions.
-
Encourage clients to set a target date for reaching carbon net-zero.
