Planet Positive

Planet Positive is a UK-based certification and accreditation mark for businesses, products, events, and individuals that commit to taking meaningful action on greenhouse gas emissions. It is built around the Planet Positive Protocol, a structured four-step framework that requires participants to measure their GHG emissions, reduce them where possible, act by supporting climate-positive initiatives, and report transparently on their progress.

To earn the certification, organisations work with a Planet Positive Accredited Consultant (PPAC), who assesses whether the applicant meets the protocol's requirements. As part of the process, certified entities must either donate to community-based environmental projects or offset their remaining emissions through verified carbon projects. This makes it relevant for organisations across the environmental and sustainability space that want a credible, structured way to demonstrate their climate commitments.

For professionals looking to conduct these assessments, Planet Positive also offers consultant training and accreditation. This means the program serves two audiences: organisations seeking certification for their operations or offerings, and sustainability practitioners looking to become qualified assessors under the scheme.
