Carbon Reduction Label

Carbon Reduction Label is a label indicating the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of product/service as a simple reference for consumers to decide on what items of products or services they should purchase. The Carbon Reduction Label is a public commitment that the carbon footprint of a product or service has been measured and certified and the owner of the product or service has committed to reduce that footprint over the following two years. The footprint that has been calculated will have been rigorously measured and be comparable based on the PAS2050 standard and Footprint Expert™. This will have a been full life cycle assessment including production, use and disposal. The certification must be undertaken again after two years and prove that real reductions have been made. OBJECTIVES: To promote the provision of verified information on reduced greenhouse gas emissions, as a label on products and services sold on the market, to support consumers’ participation in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the production process of each product and service. To use the market mechanism in raising awareness of producers and consumers on greenhouse emissions, leading to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Thailand. To be part of the world community’s attempts in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. ADVANTAGES: Products or services certified and registered the Carbon Reduction Label become a new criterion for consumers and foreign visitors to decide on what products and services they should purchase. The Carbon Reduction Label reflects the awareness of product manufacturers and service providers on environmental problems by providing climate friendly products and services; as well as, portrays social responsibility and good corporate image for manufacturers and providers. The Carbon Reduction Label is a high potential part of the market mechanism to move product manufacturers and service providers towards low-carbon economy. Entrepreneurs whose products or services are certified with the Carbon Reduction Label directly benefit from the cost reduction in production processes (originated from the reductions of fossil fuel and power consumptions in production processes, and waste generation). This movement will further create changes in the supply chain towards climate friendly practices, especially for the change of raw material acquisition.
