Sustainability is the movement of our time and organisations are improving performance and innovating to inspire climate action. The energy sector is a key part of this movement, by working to supply the world with low carbon solutions and ensure resilience in their value chain that secures sustainable energy for future generations. While globally-recognised frameworks for evaluating Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are well established, energy producers are finding there is no existing framework that will allow for validating production emissions against peers in the marketplace.

Independent Carbon Intensity Certification

Intertek CarbonClear is an independent carbon emissions intensity certification program verifying actual emissions incurred per unit produced and standardized by industry and lifecycle stage. Building on its position as the industry-leading provider of Total Sustainability Assurance solutions, Intertek's CarbonClear Certification program provides a unique platform to consistently evaluate emissions across all supply chain stages, validate and disclose the carbon impact or intensity per project or across a company's portfolio, and identify key areas for emissions improvement versus peers and other industries, accelerating the transition to a lower-carbon economy. The world's first independent and standardized carbon intensity certification program for the energy industry and beyond.
Carbon Transparency. Assured.
