5. Validity of the seal and subsequent obligations
-
Duration: 1 calendar year; annual renewal by updating consumption.

Follow-up: we always reuse the same document formats so that you only have to enter data in one way; the process is always the same (as if it were the first time).
Evolution of status:
- Calculation (year 1)
- Reduced (by demonstrating a decrease in intensity ≥ X% over a period of time - usually 2-3 years) +
- I compensate: acquire - implement compensation programs.
Stamp and Certificate of Registration
- The government entity (national or regional) reviews the submitted data and may require changes, clarifications, adjustments, etc... Once the seal is received, it must be used in accordance with the usage guidelines provided with it (how to communicate with the registration seal). The registration seal and certificate will be included in the annual reports of the Carbon Footprint Registry activity, with information on the status of registrations and other relevant data.
- This seal allows to distinguish.
- The level of participation of the organization in the registry (I calculate, I reduce, I compensate).
- Reflects the degree of effort made by the entity in the fight against climate change.
- The year to which the level of participation corresponds.
