Coming soon: refreshing the Toitū carbon certification programmes

What you need to know about updates to our programmes

To ensure our clients remain at the forefront of business-led climate action, Toitū is updating its carbon programmes. The new version of Toitū carbon will align with the latest version of ISO 14064-1:2018, incorporate science-based reduction principles, and include fresh templates and guidance.

This new version is currently being piloted and will roll out to our wider carbon membership starting in 2021, reaching everyone by June 2022.

We’ll provide more details in the new year, but here’s a quick update.

What does this mean for members?

Our Toitū carbon members should watch their inboxes. In the new year your account manager will email you with details of what the Programme update will mean for your situation. They’ll help you determine the next steps for your organisation and establish timeframes for your transition.

Rest assured that our transition timeframes will accommodate your annual cycle. All existing members have a generous timeframe in which to shift to the new Programme requirements to ensure it aligns with your schedule.

Want to know more? We are currently piloting the new programme and discussing the requirements with our accreditor JAS-ANZ. We will provide more details early in 2021 once the updates are refined. In the meantime, check out our FAQs (updated regularly), or register for one of our information sessions planned for the new year.
