The CO2 Performance Ladder has expanded to the UK in partnership with Action Sustainability, an award-winning consultancy specialising in sustainable procurement. They are leading the pilot in collaboration with key government bodies like Transport for London (TfL). With a focus on reducing supply chain emissions, this initiative aims to help UK organisations meet net-zero carbon goals by using the Ladder as a strategic tool in public tenders.

The CO2 Performance Ladder in the UK is coordinated by Action Sustainability in collaboration with the Foundation for Climate Friendly Procurement and Business (in Dutch: SKAO).
