Obligations are multiplying. Understanding the regulatory framework turns compliance into a competitive advantage.
The Climate Law requires the disclosure of CO₂ emissions for transport services. Tour operators and agencies must inform travellers of the carbon footprint of their journey. Coupling this disclosure with a certified carbon contribution strengthens your credibility.
Article 228-III of the Environmental CodeRegional and national sustainable tourism charters encourage professionals to reduce their environmental impact. A certified Label Bas-Carbone carbon contribution provides concrete proof of commitment beyond eco-gestures.
Voluntary sector commitmentThe leading international environmental label for tourist accommodations and restaurants. Clef Verte values comprehensive approaches including energy, water and waste management, and awareness. Carbon contribution strengthens your application.
Label managed by TeragirInternational sustainable tourism certification aligned with the UN SDGs. Green Globe evaluates environmental and social performance. Documenting a certified carbon contribution improves your certification score.
International sustainable tourism standardBetween traveller expectations, regulatory pressure and label requirements, tourism operators face concrete challenges.
Guest travel represents the largest share of tourism's carbon footprint. Without a carbon contribution offer, you cannot address this issue with your eco-conscious guests.
Heating, air conditioning, hot water, laundry: hotel operations consume significant energy. Even after optimisation, residual emissions remain.
Travellers look for concrete proof of environmental commitment. A simple "eco-friendly" label without verifiable certification is perceived as greenwashing.

Answers to the most common questions about certified carbon contribution for tourism.
By funding certified Label Bas-Carbone projects through Stock CO2, your property can offer a carbon contribution per night. The impact is measured across 5 ecosystem dimensions and documented with named certificates. Note: we use the term contribution rather than neutrality, in line with ADEME recommendations and the Net Zero Initiative (NZI) framework.
The Climate and Resilience Law (Article 228-III of the Environmental Code) requires the disclosure of CO₂ emissions for transport services. Tour operators and travel agencies must inform travellers of the carbon footprint of their journey. Coupling this disclosure with a certified carbon contribution strengthens your CSR credibility.
The Clef Verte label does not directly require carbon offsetting, but it strongly values reduction and contribution initiatives. Funding local Label Bas-Carbone projects strengthens your application and demonstrates a concrete commitment beyond eco-gestures. Stock CO2 reports are designed to be attached to label applications.
Eco-conscious travellers look for verifiable proof of environmental commitment. A certified Label Bas-Carbone carbon contribution, with visible local projects (reforestation, hedgerows, regenerative agriculture), provides a tangible answer. Stock CO2 provides communication materials (QR codes, certificates) to showcase your commitment to your guests.
Label Bas-Carbone projects range from €30 to €80 per tonne of CO₂. For a 50-room hotel, an annual budget of €3,000 to €15,000 enables a significant contribution covering emissions from energy and guest travel. The minimum commitment at Stock CO2 is 10 tonnes of CO₂.
Label Bas-Carbone is the only label recognised by the French government. Unlike international standards (VCS/Verra, Gold Standard), it certifies projects located exclusively in France, with methodologies validated by the Ministry for Ecological Transition. For a French tourism operator, it is the most credible and consistent option for a territorial anchoring strategy.
Yes. The Green Globe and Clef Verte labels value comprehensive environmental impact reduction efforts. A certified Label Bas-Carbone carbon contribution complements your reduction policy by addressing residual emissions. Stock CO2's 5-dimension impact reports can be directly used for your label audits.
