Sustainability is a journey, and at Regreener, we believe in empowering companies to take meaningful steps toward a greener future. Our badge system is designed to recognize and encourage yearly sustainability efforts, providing a transparent and credible way for businesses to showcase their commitment to environmental responsibility.
Why we developed Climate Action Badges
By offering a structured framework, we enable companies to track their progress, celebrate their achievements, and inspire others. When businesses share their sustainability efforts through our badges, they not only demonstrate their dedication but also motivate others to take action. This creates a ripple effect, fostering a culture of accountability and driving collective progress toward a healthier planet.
The Carbon Assessment Badge recognizes companies that have measured their CO₂ emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, demonstrating a clear understanding of their environmental impact.
The Climate Project Contribution Badge highlights organizations investing in carbon credit projects, such as renewable energy and reforestation, to offset emissions and support global climate solutions.
Finally, the Tree Planting Contribution Badge celebrates companies contributing to global reforestation efforts, helping restore ecosystems and combat climate change.
Transparency and trust
Our badges are certified by Regreener, ensuring that all claims are backed by real actions and results. We adhere to the Green Claims Directive to guarantee that our badges are truthful, clear, and scientifically verified. This builds trust with consumers, partners, and stakeholders, who can be confident that the company’s sustainability efforts are genuine and impactful. Each badge represents real, measurable action, fostering transparency and inspiring others to take climate action.

1. Carbon Assessment Badge
What does this badge represent?
The Carbon Assessment Badge signifies that a company has conducted a comprehensive evaluation of its CO₂ emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. These scopes cover:
Scope 1: Direct emissions from the company’s operations, such as fuel combustion in vehicles and facilities.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy, including electricity and heating.
Scope 3: All other indirect emissions in the value chain, such as transportation, production of materials, and waste disposal.
Why is this badge relevant for companies?
Understanding and measuring emissions is the first step toward reduction. This badge demonstrates a company’s commitment to identifying its environmental impact and taking action to minimize it. It serves as a foundation for setting realistic sustainability goals and implementing effective strategies to achieve them.
2. Climate Project Contribution Badge
What does this badge represent?
The Climate Project Contribution Badge indicates that a company is actively supporting carbon credit projects. These projects focus on reducing or removing greenhouse gases through initiatives like nature-based afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation, rainforest conservation or other impact types.
Why is this badge relevant for companies?
Investing in carbon credit projects allows companies to compensate for their unavoidable emissions while contributing to global climate solutions. This badge highlights a company’s proactive role in supporting verified projects that deliver measurable environmental benefits, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability beyond its immediate operations.
Important note regarding emission reduction
Offsetting emissions should always be seen as a complementary action to, not a replacement for, direct emission reduction. As the EU's Green Claims Directive and a growing body of scientific evidence emphasize, the primary responsibility for companies is to measure and actively reduce their own Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. It is only after these foundational reduction efforts have been implemented that offsetting becomes a legitimate and impactful tool.
3. Tree Planting Contribution Badge
What does this badge represent?
The Tree Planting Contribution Badge shows that a company is contributing to global reforestation efforts. Trees are vital for absorbing CO₂, restoring ecosystems, and supporting biodiversity.
Why is this badge relevant for companies?
Reforestation is one of the most effective natural solutions for combating climate change. By earning this badge, companies demonstrate their dedication to restoring the environment and making a tangible impact on the planet. It also reflects their support for local communities and ecosystems that benefit from these initiatives.
Quantifiable impact data
We recognize that truly impactful climate action requires full transparency and verifiable data. That's why each company that earns one of our badges is also given a unique, public-facing Impact Dashboard. This dashboard is accessible via a simple URL and acts as a single source of truth for all of their sustainability efforts.
It provides the exact number of trees planted, the tonnes of CO2 offset, and specific details about the projects they're supporting. This not only allows them you comply with future regulations like the Green Claims Directive but also gives their customers, partners, and stakeholders direct, transparent insight into the tangible results of their environmental commitment.
Particularly concerning offsetting, we ensure that our clients can make fully compliant claims. The transparency doesn't stop at just showing the volume of offsets. On their personalized Impact Dashboard, each company gets a detailed breakdown of the type of offsets they have contributed to.
This clearly distinguishes between offsets from emission reductions (such as funding a renewable energy project) and those from carbon removals (like reforestation or direct air capture). This granular insight empowers our customers to make precise, substantiated claims about their contributions, allowing them to meet the Directive's standards and build genuine trust with their audience.
