Carbon credits are generated from projects worldwide that reduce the atmospheric concentration of CO₂ and greenhouse gases ( GHG) and prevent CO₂ and GHGs from being emitted into the atmosphere. 

Carbon credits are tangible, measurable, and audited independently and transparently and purchasing carbon credits contributes to developing projects that combat climate change and help mitigate CO₂ emissions.

Each carbon project supports one or more of the UN Global Compact's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Along with climate action, these impacts include nature and wildlife, conservation, improved infrastructure, job creation, advancing gender equality and many more. 

The latest report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change( IPCC) draws clear conclusions that if bold climate action isn't taken now, GHG emissions are projected to keep rising, limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and cannot be achieved without carbon removal.

Our mission is to help our clients accelerate their climate action and create meaningful impact worldwide, contributing to solving our world's biggest challenges.

Together with our ICROA-accredited partners, we help companies find the carbon projects that best meet their environmental objectives. We manage the entire process for you, from selecting the project to price negotiation and redemption of carbon credits.

The International Carbon Reduction and Offsetting Accreditation (ICROA) is a leading industry Accreditation Programme committed to enhancing integrity in the voluntary carbon market in support of the Paris Agreement Goals.

Our trusted partners exclusively source carbon credits from ICROA-recognised accreditation standards(i.e.VCS, Gold Standard)and with additional verification labels such as the Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards. 

ICROA accreditation ensures that a project is credible, thoroughly vetted, and adheres to strict environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. Accredited projects have undergone a rigorous assessment process that considers all aspects of ESG, ensuring they are both environmentally sound and socially and economically responsible.

While your company must prioritise minimising your Scope 1 and 2 emissions, it is equally important to acknowledge and address your Scope 3 emissions.

Recognising that reducing these emissions may be a long and complex process, investing in carbon credits and accredited projects can assist in balancing your carbon footprint as you work with your suppliers to minimise your impact.  By actively working towards minimising scope 3 emissions to 10% or less by 2050, your company can demonstrate its commitment to a sustainable future and fulfil its environmental, employee, and stakeholder responsibilities.

By investing in carbon credits and accredited projects, your company can make a tangible difference in combating climate change. These investments actively contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the development of sustainable practices. By supporting projects such as renewable energy, afforestation, and energy efficiency initiatives, companies can directly participate in the global effort to create a more sustainable future.

Employees are increasingly seeking work with purpose, and a company's commitment to sustainability and social responsibility can be a significant motivating factor. By engaging in efforts to reduce emissions and support environmentally-friendly initiatives, your company can demonstrate that you value your employees' concerns about the world they live in. 

You create a sense of pride and loyalty, leading to higher retention rates and a more engaged workforce.

Investing in carbon credits and accredited projects is a strategic way to foster stronger stakeholder relationships. Investors, customers, and suppliers increasingly scrutinise companies' environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Your company will build trust and connect with environmentally-conscious stakeholders by demonstrating a genuine commitment to reducing emissions and supporting accredited projects.
