USING PAS 2060 VERIFICATION MARKS
Claims and promotion of carbon neutrality should be clear and specific as to what is
carbon neutral (for example, the company, service or product).

PAS 2060 logos are not permitted to be placed on product or packaging (unless product
verified).

NQA will verify your previous years’ GHG footprint, carbon offset and future carbon
reduction plan. When NQA issue the initial verification statement you can make your
0015
carbon neutral claims and use the relevant NQA verified carbon neutral logo for 12
months. This is predicated on your carbon reduction plan being robust and achievable.

You must not use the logos once this time period has ended and if you have not re-
verified.

Prior to 12 months, to continue your claim and logo use, NQA will need to re-verify your
carbon footprint for the previous year and audit how your carbon reduction has been
implemented.

All logos can be downloaded from our


website: www.nqa.com/logos (Please note
this is the only definitive source for NQA
logos to be downloaded, downloading from
www.nqa.com Google may result in an out of date logo
being used)
