What are the Benefits of CNC?

Suppliers & Retailers: By evaluating the manufacturing process of an item of clothing, suppliers & retailers become aware of the carbon emissions and the impact their production has on the environment. The Carbon Neutral Clothing™ certification mark identifies your company as socially and environmentally responsible, thus increasing exposure to a growing consumer segment.

“Companies with a public commitment to ethics perform better on 3 out 4 financial measures than those without. These companies also have 18% higher profits on average.” - Institute of Business Ethics 2003

Consumers: CNC certification enables consumers to use their purchasing power to benefit the environment as they are looking to suppliers to improve their production. The Carbon Neutral Clothing™ certification mark assures consumers the environmental impact of their purchase has been accounted for and neutralized.

“In the US, the consumer segment which makes its buying decisions in keeping with their values of social and environmental responsibility is growing at 1% per year … but the dollar (spent) going into the market –now at $355 billion — is escalating about 10% a year.” - Paul Ray, author of Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million People are Changing the World

Industry: Endorsing the Carbon Neutral Clothing™ certification mark enables companies to meet growing consumer demand for environmentally aware products and thereby please their customers, increase profits and further their company’s sustainable mission.

Earth: Carbon Neutral Clothing™ connects eco-conscious consumers with retailers that have made a commitment to take responsibility for their products. By raising awareness of the need for more sustainable clothing manufacture with a unified voice, it is possible to motivate true change and a better future.
