Certificarea Carbon Footprint Management
Standardul CFM de la Preferred by Nature va sprijina in masurarea si reducerea emisiilor de gaze cu efect de sera (GES) si, daca este ales, in comunicarea neutralitatii carbonului prin utilizarea de credite de carbon credibile pentru emisii reziduale. Certificarea CFM asigura comunicarea emisiilor verificate prin etichete si declaratii credibile.
Standardul CFM se concentreaza pe reducerea emisiilor de GES in timp. Compania sau produsul trebuie sa demonstreze reduceri reale si masurabile pentru a putea utiliza etichetele CFM. Daca se realizeaza reduceri de cel putin 4.2% de la an la an, se poate folosi eticheta „Reducing”. Daca se realizeaza reduceri de 4.2% anual si se investeste in credite de carbon credibile pentru emisiile reziduale, se poate folosi eticheta „Neutral”. Nu exista neutralitate fara reducere. Acest lucru face ca programul de certificare sa fie unic si valoros pentru companiile care doresc sa demonstreze leadership in protectia climei.
Standardul are ca scop atenuarea impactului schimbarilor climatice. Desi folosim termenul „Carbon Footprint Management” in referire la standardul nostru si la domeniul de aplicare al amprentei de carbon, solicitam organizatiilor sa includa toate emisiile de GES conform ghidurilor de raportare ale Convenției-cadru a Națiunilor Unite privind schimbările climatice (UNFCCC).
Certificarea evalueaza aspecte ale organizatiei precum politica si documentatia privind clima, sursele relevante de emisii din lantul valoric sau ciclul de viata, colectarea si calcularea datelor, planurile si obiectivele de reducere, precum si raportarea publica.
Beneficii ale alegerii certificarii CFM
Intareste raportarea si transparenta: Gestioneaza emisiile de GES in conformitate cu standardele globale, imbunatatind credibilitatea eforturilor tale de raportare.
Imbunatateste imaginea brandului: Un brand cu consideratii climatice puternice este esential pentru diversi stakeholderi. Pentru a spori credibilitatea si sustenabilitatea, programul nostru de certificare solicita reducerea emisiilor de GES conform celor mai bune practici globale.
Demonstreaza credibilitate: Programul te sprijina in gestionarea emisiilor de GES, oferind verificare de catre o terta parte pentru rezultate credibile.
Pregateste-te pentru viitor: Pe masura ce apar cerinte obligatorii de raportare si noi reglementari climatice, ajutam companiile sa se pregateasca. Organizatiile pot beneficia prin indeplinirea cerintelor clientilor, demonstrand initiativa si deschizand noi oportunitati de inovare.
- Obtine o perspectiva asupra lantului valoric: Intelegerea emisiilor Scope 3 sprijina colaborarea cu partenerii, identificarea punctelor critice de emisii, riscurilor si eficientei. Standardul CFM solicita evaluarea si reducerea emisiilor din amonte si aval.

Certification scope
Embarking on your CFM journey, we review the application form with you and provide information to help you choose an appropriate certification scope and related services. The CFM standard allows you to calculate, verify and communicate the carbon footprint of:
Organisation. Covers emissions across the value chain, including operations, energy use, and the supply chain.
Product or service. Encompasses relevant life cycle stages, offering options like cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave.
- Event. Considers emission hot spots and sources throughout the event's life cycle.
Certification scope depends on your business nature and motivations for GHG emissions management.
Support services
Recognising the need for additional support in understanding our CFM requirements, best practices, and carbon disclosure regulations, our cerification programme offers:
Training
Reviews our CFM standard in detail, providing tips, best practices, and exercises to enhance your CFM knowledge before developing your own programme. We usually offer half a day or full day training that can be tailored to your actual needs. Q&A sessions are always part of the training.
Ongoing support
If you require support to ensure your CFM work is on the right track, to locate relevant data inputs, get the most up-to-date emission factors, or to determine if your calculation methods are appropriate, please let us know. We can support you to be on track with your CFM plan before assessments or audits.

CFM Standard Consultations
The original CFM Standard underwent two rounds of public consultation in 2012 and 2013. Following that, version 2.0 was developed and underwent public consultation from 10 February to 10 April 2021. These consultations provided insightful feedback from stakeholders, significantly strengthening the impact and usability of the standard. Updates to the standard include additional clarity around emission source requirements, a carbon-neutral event option, and new emissions reduction targets and labels.
The second version of the CFM Standard aims to help organisations manage their corporate, product or service, and event carbon footprints systematically. It may be used to communicate annual GHG emissions and reductions, and investments in credible carbon credits, and how your organisation is enhancing its climate responsibility.
