As part of the certification process, we ask that you make a positive financial commitment. Ten percent of the fees your company pays to us will be invested through the Planet Positive Foundation into an accredited Community Sustainability Project.

  • The Planet Positive Foundation (PPF) is a not-for-profit entity within Planet Positive UK, and a US not for profit 501c3 organisation.
  • All community sustainability projects have positive social, economic and environmental impacts.
  • Planet Positive community sustainability projects are appraised yearly against the Community Project Policy in the Planet Positive Protocol.
  • Community sustainability projects include a mixture of local and global options.
  • For further information on any of these projects, please contact Sarah Gillett, Community and Policy Manager

Local

Planet Positive Schools Programme - enabling businesses to engage local schools in sustainability workshops and learning

Global

Cool Earth Rainforest Protection - saving imminently endangered rainforests with local communities in Peru and Bolivia

Excellent Sand Dams - providing a reliable and clean source of water to communities in semi-arid Africa

Link Community Development Solar Connect - providing rural communities in Africa for solar panels to support and enhance education

  • If you also choose to offset, we ask you to buy enough credits to cover 110% of your calculated carbon footprint.
  • Your investment option will be displayed on your Planet Positive certificate, and you will receive further information on your chosen project.
