Why should I participate?
The need for sustainable consumption is becoming increasingly clear and more and more people are placing increasing value on ecological and sustainable products. Anyone who offers a real solution for more climate protection in today’s increasingly urgent climate debate is very interesting for customers.
With LOW CARBON TIMBER you address two outstanding, long-term megatrends, the trend towards greening and sustainable products and the trend towards regionalization and authenticity. According to renowned trend studies, 60% of consumers now specifically buy sustainable products. For 87% of these customers, these are primarily regionally produced products. With a LOW CARBON TIMBER certificate for your products, you will therefore reach a strongly growing customer group.
Many public sector clients are interested in promoting regional economic cycles and are looking for arguments for a justified selection of regional businesses in the context of tendering and procurement. As an eco-label that can be put out to tender, Low Carbon Timber provides an important bridge here and earns you important bonus points with local authorities and in the public sector, because more and more local authorities are integrating the eco-label into their tenders.
Presentation on the platform contributes to increased visibility of your business on the Internet and in the media. Low Carbon Timber bundles customers and consumers with special interests and makes them aware of your business.
How to participate ?
LOW CARBON TIMBER is simple and practical. Participation is possible at any time, even at short notice.
Find here 7 important reasons …

- No need to install expensive software. All that is required is Internet access.
- Participation is possible immediately, e.g. also for a concrete building project or object equipment.
- Participation is associated with very low costs. Their solidarity contribution effectively flows into public relations work and the sensitization of customers and decision-makers.
