- having a verified emissions reduction commitment

Why is the level of company information varied?
Companies or organisations listed with basic information - typically company name and country - have been identified and pre-verified by us as either having emissions reduction commitments or having the recognised capability to help other companies and organisations manage their business impact, but may not yet be managed by the company.
When a company or organisation chooses to build a deeper profile listing, the content is managed by the proflie owner. and profiles will have more content - such as contact details, logos, search categories, images, videos, products & services and downloads.
Because Clean Market is set up for user self-management, the content will naturally deepen over time, and create more value for our audience.

We charge for account access, and there are three listing packages available. Our basic listing package is only £360.00 for the year (£30.00 / month). In business marketing terms this is extremely good value and, for our Standard and Premium pacckages, we also allocate 5% of revenue for charity.
Why charge? We are a for profit business with all of the usual costs and responsibilities. We also have exciting development plannned to deliver more value for both our audience and our customers.

Clean Market is a business to business platform offering 12 month listings, with payment required in advance of account activation.
Here's why:
- In search engine terms, organic website profile search rankings improve over time
- Monthly billing would require reccuring process actions - database updates, email activity, payment processing, etc - which requires energy useage
- In business marketing terms, our pricing is very competitive
Is there a risk that the platform won't be here for the life of our agreement?
No. There is as close to zero risk as you can possibly get:
- We own the platform, author the code, and use our own hosted servers
- We manage all design and content aspects of the website inhouse
- We do not require business finance or debt to operate
Clean Market is here for the long run
Is Clean Market a certification programme?
No. There are lots of excellent certifications and frameworks for companies and organisations to work with already.
We verify that the companies and organisations listed on Clean Market are measuring and reducing CO2 emissions to achieve net zero, or known to provide respected products and services that help organisations to manage their impact.
Companies don't need to hold a certification, but if it has, we promote the achievement by adding the certification or framework logo to their company profile.
