We’re joining forces with UN-recognised low-carbon culture change charity The Carbon Literacy Project as the headline sponsor for its prestigious annual Carbon Literate Organisation Awards.
Now in its sixth year, the Carbon Literate Organisation (CLO) Awards will celebrate and honour organisations from across the UK and worldwide that have achieved CLO accreditation throughout the past year.
The CLO Awards recognise the exceptional efforts made by the now 310 accredited CLOs to educate and engage their workforce and stakeholders about climate change, its impact and solutions, including practical steps employees can take to reduce organisational carbon emissions.

In addition to being headline sponsor we will also be recognised as a Platinum CLO at this year’s ceremony, having trained over 80% of our teammates in Carbon Literacy.
Jane Pocock, CEO at Copart UK & Ireland, commented:
“Following our recent accreditation as a Platinum level CLO, we’re delighted to further demonstrate our commitment to tackling climate change by supporting this year’s Carbon Literate Organisation Awards as headline sponsor.
As a global leader in vehicle remarketing and recycling, we’ve always been a critical enabler of the circular economy, with the very nature of our operations helping to reduce the environmental impact of new vehicle manufacturing by extending the life of existing vehicles.
It’s very important to us that we continue to lead by example and influence positive environmental change and that’s why we’re proud to help raise the profile of The Carbon Literacy Project and the vital education they deliver.”
Phil Korbel, Co-founder and Director of Advocacy at The Carbon Literacy Project, commented:
“If we’re to maximise our efforts to tackle the climate crisis, then everyone needs to be Carbon Literate.
That’s why Copart’s role both as sponsor and Platinum CLO is so exciting – because they’ve not only excelled in a sector associated with having a high footprint but also committed to communicating that success beyond their company and sector.
This will not only amplify their own work but make it easier for other employers to get on board.”
