Carbon Trust welcomes "major" Korean agreement
A "major" new agreement has been struck between the Carbon Trust and the Korean Environmental Industry and Technology Institute, it has been announced.
In a statement, the organisation explained that within 12 months, products from the country that are exported into the UK and other destinations around the globe could well carry the Carbon Trust's Carbon Reduction label.
The body noted that this label demonstrates manufacturers' efforts to reduce carbon emissions and enhance their green credentials.
Korea now plans to harmonise its carbon reduction strategies under a memorandum of understanding signed with the Carbon Trust today.
Chief executive of the trust Tom Delay said: "This is a major breakthrough. Within two years of launching the concept of carbon labelling, our knowledge and experience is now being shared with one of the largest economies in the world."
In recent weeks, the trust announced plans to inject as much as £18 million into the UK's clean energy industry.
