Consultants Accreditation Scheme

 
 
 
 
 
The threat of climate change means the drive to reduce carbon emissions is now essential for all organisations, as such we continually strive to improve the effectiveness and range of services we offer. The Carbon Trust Accreditation Scheme creates a robust network providing organisations working with the Carbon Trust access to expertise across technical, non-technical, business and change management consultancy.

This independent Accreditation Scheme is a Product-based accreditation scheme that provides accreditation for specific groups of Carbon Trust Products. Specific Accreditation Categories have been defined for each group of Products based on various common requirements in respect of knowledge, skills and experience.

The Scheme comprises four Accreditation Categories representing groups of related Carbon Trust products:

  • Carbon Opportunity Identification
  • Carbon Solution Development
  • Low Carbon Design Advice
  • Carbon Management


It will be managed on behalf of the Carbon Trust by Gemserv Ltd, which will undertake all accreditation of consultants for all future activity.
