Carbon Credits, CERs and VERs

Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) and Verified Emission Reductions (VERs), both commonly known as carbon offsets, are a meaningful way for organisations and individuals to balance their carbon footprint. It is a reduction of one metric ton of greenhouse gas emissions (expressed as a CO2 equivalent, or CO2e) below a baseline or business-as-usual level. Emission reductions allow individuals and organisations to balance emissions of greenhouse gases produced in one place by helping fund emission reductions that occur elsewhere.

We source CERs and VERs that meet our rigorous criteria for quality. They are sourced from specific projects that result in real, quantifiable, permanent and additional greenhouse gas emission reductions and are third-party verified against objective, credible and transparent standards:

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS)
Gold Standard

By purchasing high-quality CERs and VERs from carbon reduction projects, you're providing critical revenue that helps make projects financially attractive. For a CER/VER buyer, high-quality emission credits offer a low-cost, practical solution to reducing their carbon footprint.

Carbon Offset Projects

By providing new revenue streams to farmers, conserving critical wildlife habitat or bringing clean, renewable energy technologies to developing countries, you can reduce your carbon footprint while generating important sustainable development co-benefits.
