Ecosurety recognised as a Gold Carbon Literate Organisation

Ecosurety has been awarded Gold Carbon Literate Organisation (CLO) status by the Carbon Literacy Project.

It recognises our dedication towards tackling climate change, reducing our organisational carbon emissions, and our commitment to working towards a zero-carbon future across our business and the wider packaging sector.

Carbon Literacy is defined as, “An awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis” and revolves around a day’s worth of learning and action on climate change.

Only 11% of the 500 plus CLOs have achieved Gold or higher status. Our own Carbon Literacy journey began in 2022, when we set out to ensure our team and our members could make more informed, positive climate decisions.

Since 2023 we’ve developed and delivered our own bespoke Carbon Literacy for the packaging sector training, accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project. We became a Bronze and Silver CLO later that same year.

Empowering action through knowledge

Over 80% of our team are now individually certified as Carbon Literate, and we’ve delivered our training to more than 50 individuals from 40 packaging producer organisations, including some of the largest brands and packaging producers operating in the UK. In this way we’re helping to build a shared understanding of the climate crisis and how the sector can reduce emissions and drive progress toward net zero.
