Small Enterprise Certification option

The carboNZero small enterprise certification programme was launched at the Auckland Small Business Expo in April. We have been overwhelmed with enquiries and the large number of forward thinking small enterprises already keen to progress through the 5-step certification scheme. The small enterprise scheme is available to all small enterprises that have a single site with less than 50 tonnes greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per year and seek organisation certification to demonstrate their climate change action with the highest integrity. This option is an upgrade from the old ‘Participant’ option.

To register businesses are required to complete a data table which confirms the above criterion has been met.
