United Nations Climate Neutral Business pledge
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is calling on any businesses or organizations to contribute to limiting temperature rise and take climate action and urges them to sign the Climate Neutral Now Pledge. Therefore, a minimum turnover of a company or organization is not required. Moreover, the pledge represents a growing movement of organizations, events, companies and individuals taking the lead on reducing emissions and accelerating the global journey to a climate-neutral future.

Please see the files below for a more thorough explanation and the requirements for becoming a signatory.
