Consumer Information

The consequences of our daily activities on our global climate are no longer deniable. Climate change is mainly caused by the consumption of fossil fuels causing increased emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). According to the UN IPCC climate change report, emissions of climate-relevant gases have to be reduced drastically by 2020 to avert the predicted negative impacts. Beside international regulations and political approaches a more conscious acting of anyone is particularly needed. This opportunity is now available for you.

climatop  aims at providing the necessary basis for consumers' decision making, in order to facilitate the efforts of them to countervail climate change. Therefore the most climate preserving products and services are labelled as 'approved by climatop'. You as a customer can now set an effective example. Buying "climatop champions" causes an important reduction of climate-relevant emissions.

An additional effect of our carbon label is the incitement of producers to participate in a competition that leads towards more climate protective production methods, because: only the best of each product category receives the label, and after two years, a new certification is needed
