Landcare Research's carboNZero programme has become the first greenhouse gas certification scheme in the world to receive international accreditation.
The international accreditation has been made by the Joint Accreditation System – Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ) which is an international accreditation body established by a treaty between the New Zealand and Australian governments and linked through the IAF which promotes mutual acceptance of certification to common international standards.
The accreditation means the carboNZero programme offers a framework for businesses here and overseas to measure and report their carbon footprint with confidence as it has been verified against a global standard and which is accepted in 50 major world economies.
