Planet Mark unveils new Net Zero certification programme and academy

The Net Zero Certification Programme is designed to guide and empower organisations at every stage of their sustainability journey to turn ambition into reality and achieve net zero.

With a clear and structured pathway, the Net Zero Certification Programme features four levels of certification supported by five tailored membership packages. Additionally, members gain access to the Planet Mark Academy's supporting resources, equipping them with tailored tools and guidance at every stage of the certification program to drive measurable progress.

The four levels are:

Planet Mark Certified - Business - Awarded with Planet Mark's support in measuring Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 carbon emissions, establishing a net zero baseline.

Planet Mark Certified - Net Zero Committed - Earned by setting clear net zero targets and developing a transition plan based on the established net zero baseline, with Planet Mark's guidance.

Planet Mark Certified - Net Zero Aligned - Granted upon achieving near-term net zero targets for Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 carbon emissions, supported by transparent annual measurement and progress reporting.

Planet Mark Certified - Net Zero Achieved - Attained by reducing 90% of all Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 carbon emissions compared to the organisation’s original net zero baseline.

Planet Mark CEO and founder Steve Malkin, says: “2025 to 2030 are critical years, with global average temperatures in 2024 breaking records by surpassing the warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius for the first time, we must act urgently to protect the future of our planet. We want every organisation to feel empowered to drive impactful change and embed sustainability into their operations. Equally important is recognition for their efforts and the ability to clearly and effectively communicate those achievements to others. Our new Net Zero Certification Programme provides our inspiring community with the structure needed to achieve net zero, engaging their supply chain and ecosystem to do the same for maximum impact in our lifetime.”
