The Planet Mark™ is an internationally-recognised and trusted sustainability certification programme recognising commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability. It is awarded to businesses, properties, new developments and projects that are committed to improving their environmental and social performance. It is partnered with the iconic Eden Project, the UK educational charity and a multi-award winning international visitor destination and centre for education in sustainability and innovation, which is currently building a China Eden Centre.
Through rigorous carbon footprint measurement and reporting, The Planet Mark™ provides assurance that an organisation is addressing its corporate sustainability impact meaningfully. The programme builds employee and stakeholder engagement and creates positive environmental and social change. Uniquely, it develops knowledge and communication skills so as to embed sustainability within organisations.
Since launching three years ago, the programme has certified more than 100 organisations, saving businesses on average 5% carbon emissions per employee per year. It has measured the carbon footprint of 23 new developments, covering 6,405,168 sq feet in total. These buildings have saved 54,703 tonnes embodied carbon compared to a compliant building of the same type and size.
The Planet Mark™ is available worldwide and is currenlty being rolled out across Europe, Africa and Asia.
