Discover practical tools to measure your climate impact and enhance your sustainability strategies. Join this webinar on the new Carbon Footprint Certification, with a special emphasis on tea and coffee farming and trade in East Africa.   

Climate change demands urgent and collaborative action. Organizations are seeking credible ways to reduce their environmental footprint, strengthen their resilience, and demonstrate accountability. 

Tea and coffee producers play an important role in capturing carbon on their farms, and commodity traders are increasingly interested in knowing the actual carbon footprint of their products and suppliers. There is a need for transparent and credibly verified data.  

Join our webinar to learn about Preferred by Nature Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC). This service follows a structured four-stage process: preparation and data collection, assessment, final review and reporting, and certification. The result is a certificate issued by a third party—Preferred by Nature as the certification body—that guarantees the reliability of the carbon footprint assessment. 

Selected highlights of the CFC service: 

• The service can be integrated with your existing audits, such as Rainforest Alliance, Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT), Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP), Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), and Preferred by Nature Certification (PBNC), reducing cost and time.
• It considers your on-farm sequestration initiatives.
• It also incorporates a user-friendly carbon-calculation tool - Cool Farm Platform - tailored for agricultural activities. 

What to expect

• Learn how Preferred by Nature Carbon Footprint Certification can boost your climate reporting and enhance transparency.
• Understand the motivations for and the importance of credible and verified carbon footprint assessments.
• Learn from case studies in the tea and coffee sectors on carbon emission hot spots, removal potentials and improved land management opportunities.
• Join a Q&A session with experts from Preferred by Nature.
