LAUNCHPAD
TO CARBON
NEUTRAL
80% GRANT FUND
Join the mission to create a low carbon economy with a Launchpad to Carbon Neutral grant from One Carbon World
Launchpad to Carbon Neutral is ideal as an easily adoptable standard for businesses, events and organisations that want to engage carbon reduction in a simple direct way. Launchpad to Carbon Neutral ensures that from day one you are engaging in carbon reduction, in a credible and robust system that takes account of future legislation and obligations. We also support you throughout with options to reduce your carbon footprint.
At the end of the year or after the specific event, we calculate and verified a final figure for your carbon footprint to provide a balance to your carbon footprint. This process is simple, helping to detail strong, real empirical knowledge of your actual carbon footprint.
If you aren’t able to submit your figures then One Carbon World will retire a notional 150 tonnes of Verified Carbon Credits and return the balance to the fund. If your annual figures are greater than 300 tonnes you have the option of offsetting the new figure completely and progressing to Carbon Neutral Gold Standard or maintaining your commitment and engagement with Launchpad to Carbon Neutral. Whatever you choose each is fully grant supported up to a maximum of 4 years.
Additionally, all organisations will be able to use the UN Climate Neutral Now logo on participation in this initiative in their websites, informational documents (e.g.annual reports, sustainability reports, company profiles) and promotional materials (flyers, brochures, and similar).
Climate Neutral Now is an initiative launched by the UN Climate Change in 2015, aiming at encouraging and supporting all levels of society to take climate action to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century, as enshrined in the Paris Agreement adopted the same year.

The One Carbon World grant fund has been established to reduce climate change. Our fund of 10,000,000 Verified Carbon Credits aims to help 25,000 businesses, charities, and social enterprises to achieve carbon neutrality over the next 4 years. This will equate to a 5% increase in the number of carbon credits retired worldwide. As an international fund our grants can assist organisations in any country.
We are 1 of 17 world wide resource partners with the UN programme for Climate Neutral Now initiative and are recognised for offering advice and support on measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
We directly support organisations with retiring carbon credits supporting emission reduction and forestry projects.
