Code from Finland Carbon Neutrality label
With this form, you can apply for a Code from Finland carbon neutrality label for your company.

By submitting the form, you certify that the information you provided is accurate, and that the applicant company's carbon footprint has been calculated, minimization measures are underway, and compensation has been completed, each in accordance with the label's rules.

The form requires the previous year's carbon footprint and compensation data, as well as current information on carbon footprint minimization at the time of submission. The information submitted will be reviewed against the label's rules by our carbon neutrality working group. If necessary, we will request additional information from the contact person for any unclear points.

Applications are processed and approved once a month, except in July.

The label is valid for one year at a time, so the form must be submitted annually to maintain the right to use the label.
Company information
Membership *

The applicant company must be a full member (company member) of Code from Finland.
Required
Name of the company
 *
Company identification number
 *
Fiscal year
 *
Carbon footprint calculation

Report emissions in carbon dioxide equivalent tonnes (tonne = 1000 kg).
The year or fiscal period to which the calculations pertain *

The carbon neutrality label must be applied for within 12 months of the end of the calculation period. If the calculation period is different from the calendar year, please indicate a more precise period (e.g. "7/2023-6/2024").
Scope of calculation
 *
Required
Scope 1 -emissions (t CO₂eq) *
Scope 2 -emissions (t CO₂eq) *
Scope 3 -emissions (t CO₂eq) *
Emissions sources included in Scope 3 *
Have any significant Scope 3 emissions sources been excluded, and if so, why? *
Do your business operations, organizational structure, or practices have features that significantly affect the carbon footprint?
For example, a networked nature, no premises, etc.
Total carbon footprint (t CO₂eq)    *
Number of personnel or person-work-years (pcs) *

The headcount includes employment relationships or comparable permanent arrangements. You may also input the number of person-work-years if it better reflects your operations. To estimate person-work-years, you can divide the total workload by the workload of normal full-time work (approximately 1700 hours per year).
Carbon footprint per person or person-work-year (t CO₂eq) *
Carbon footprint and carbon handprint
What measures have already been taken to minimize the carbon footprint? *
What measures are planned to minimize the carbon footprint in the future? *
Plans to increase the carbon handprint, if available

Carbon handprint is a term used to describe the positive climate impacts generated by products or services. Positive climate impacts include, for example, emission reductions resulting from the use and utilization of the product or service.

Please note that carbon handprint does not replace carbon footprint minimization or emissions offsetting.

Carbon footprint offsetting
Amount of compensation for the accounting period (t CO₂eq) *

The amount must be at least equal to the total carbon footprint.
How has carbon footprint offsetting been done and what service providers, projects, and mechanisms have been used in offsetting? *
Is emissions cancellation based on climate units that meet the minimum criteria published by the Ministry of the Environment? Justify. *

We recommend clarifying this matter before purchasing offsetting.

You can inquire from your service provider whether the offsetting used meets the criteria for climate units according to the guidelines published by the Ministry of the Environment and whether it can be used as the basis for an offset claim.

"There has been a lot of ambiguity and suspicion surrounding corporate climate claims and 'greenwashing'. The Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry published a guide to good practices in voluntary carbon markets in February 2023. The aim of the guide is to improve the reliability of domestic carbon markets and provide tools for operating in voluntary carbon markets."

"An offset claim refers to the cancellation of climate damage caused by a company or its product's emissions by purchasing climate units that are not counted towards any country's climate targets and accounting. An offset claim can cover emissions partially or entirely. A carbon neutrality claim is an offset claim that covers the emissions of the subject entirely."

"It is possible to purchase climate units from voluntary carbon markets for making climate claims. According to good practices, credible climate claims should be based on climate units that meet internationally established minimum criteria."

"The internationally established minimum criteria for good practices are:

  1. Additionality
  2. Solid baseline
  3. Robust accounting method
  4. Monitoring and reporting
  5. Permanence
  6. Avoidance of carbon leakage
  7. Integrity, independent verification, and certification
  8. Avoidance of double counting
  9. Avoidance of significant harm (DNSH principle)"
