Over 1,100 organisations have certified with the Carbon Trust including;

PwC

GSK Nationwide

At the very core of our business, we are shopkeepers


not sustainability experts. Therefore, engaging with
respected organisations like the Carbon Trust helps
us learn and up-skill ourselves. The Carbon Trust
Standard provided us with a measure on how we are
doing and where we can make further improvements.
Their holistic approach to going beyond carbon
resonates with our own holistic ethos.

Eurotunnel

More and more customers are making


their purchasing decisions based on a
companys impact on the environment.
Our performance certified by Carbon
Trust and our ongoing commitment to
sustainable development always bring
us more traffic.

Groupe Eurotunnel, the operator of the Channel Tunnel and Le


Shuttle service, has held the Carbon Trust Standard for Carbon
since 2009 for all of its operations.
To demonstrate the companys commitment to reducing emissions, Eurotunnel has
emblazoned the logo onto its Le Shuttle locomotives. Eurotunnel continues reducing its
emissions through a number of initiatives, such as reducing the speed of trains using the
Tunnel at night, using less energy for cooling the Tunnel, and sourcing its electricity
supply from low-carbon sources based in France.

Allied Bakeries
Allied Bakeries have improved the competitive positioning and
consumer attractiveness of their Kingsmill brand by being one of the
few bakers to measure and certify their mainstream products and to be
awarded the Carbon Trust Footprint Label.
Being able to display the Carbon
Trust Footprint Label on pack confirms
our carbon-cutting credentials and
gives people a value-added reason to
buy Kingsmill loaves as opposed to a
competing product.
Lydia Freeman, Kingsmill Brand Manager,
Allied Bakeries

Having determined that they wanted to both reduce the environmental impact of their
market-leading Kingsmill products and conduct a detailed supply-chain footprint analysis
as a basis for cost reduction and efficiency improvements, Allied Bakeries decided that
certification gave them the added advantage of being able to differentiate
Kingsmill from other bakery brands.
Their Kingsmill Great Everyday White, Tasty Wholemeal and 50/50 loaves have all achieved
certification.
A recertified footprint reduction of 13.6% was achieved by shifting to local production in
order to reduce logistics costs and carbon emissions. A further 20% efficiency gain from
improved baking processes was identified as a part of the certification project.

Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) was one of the first four
organisations to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard for Water,
helping to pilot the methodology.
Water is fundamental to our business

and our communities. To be a


sustainability leader, we recognize that we
must fully understand our impact beyond
carbon. By measuring and managing
our water impact within our operations
as well as across our value chain, we
can address longer-term water scarcity
issues. This certification recognizes
the progress we have made towards
becoming a water-sustainable operation

This made them the first in their industry to obtain independent certification that they
are taking action to measure, manage and reduce water use year on year. CCE is using
less water by becoming more water-efficient through a range of efficiency programs,
new technologies and the commitment of its employees. CCEs factories in France and
Great Britain are the most water-efficient Coca-Cola production plants in the world.

Coca-Cola Enterprises
