The carboNZero programme and CEMARS programme are the world’s first internationally accredited greenhouse gas (GHG) certification schemes under ISO 14065. They provide tools for organisations, products, services and events to measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (otherwise known as carbon footprint), and optionally offset it. The programmes are owned and operated by Enviro-Mark Solutions Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Landcare Research (100% NZ government-owned). ==Programmes== There are two certification offerings for carbon footprinting: * CEMARS (Certified Emissions Management And Reduction Scheme) certification is for organisations, products or services to make a measurement and reduction claim. Clients get to use a specific CEMARS certification logo and are certified against ISO 14064-1 for organisation or PAS 2050 for product or service * carboNZero certification is for organisations, products, services or events to make a carbon neutrality claim. Clients get to use a specific carboNZero certification logo and are certified against ISO 14064-1 for organisation or PAS 2050 for product or service. Both certifications require participants to follow the below key steps (CEMARS certification does not require offsetting): * Measure - to establish a carbon footprint or GHG emissions inventory * Manage - to reduce GHG emissions * Verify - to independently verify your market claims * Mitigate - to neutralise remaining unavoidable emissions by purchasing high quality and verified carbon credits * Market - to report or disclose achievements in reducing GHG emissions The programme website also has simple calculators for households, travel, and schools to calculate their carbon footprint and purchase offsets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CarboNZero programme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
