Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this solution

What's the difference between Climate Active and NetNada Carbon Committed?
Climate Active: Government-backed certification, most rigorous, annual audited renewals, recognized internationally. Takes 8-12 weeks, costs ~$10k including offsets. NetNada Carbon Committed: Self-certification for companies starting sustainability journey, faster (2 weeks), lower cost ($2-5k), builds foundation for future Climate Active upgrade.
