Explore our frequently asked questions to gain insights into carbon offset projects and how they can make a difference.

Carbon offset credits represent a reduction or removal of greenhouse gas emissions, allowing individuals and companies to compensate for their own emissions.

Purchasing carbon offset credits helps companies support carbon reduction and removal outside of their value chain, to help meet regulatory or voluntary emission reduction targets, and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.

Our rating system evaluates the effectiveness and integrity of each carbon offset project based on specific criteria, ensuring transparency and reliability in carbon offset purchases.

We assess projects based on Additionality, Permanence, Quantification/Measurability, and Leakage.

Projects are re-evaluated periodically to ensure they continue to meet high standards and adapt to any changes in environmental conditions or regulatory requirements.

All credits that are rated using our rating system are certified by recognized standards such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Gold Standard.

In addition to reducing greenhouse gases many of the projects bring other benefits such as contributing to biodiversity, improve local air and water quality, and support sustainable development in communities.

While we rigorously evaluate and monitor each project, we also provide transparency on potential risks and uncertainties. Our commitment is to offer the highest quality projects with robust monitoring and verification.

Our rating system is built on robust, standardized criteria and is regularly reviewed by our experts. We also commit to transparency by publishing our methodology and results, allowing customers to see exactly how each project is evaluated.

We maintain strict separation between our project evaluation and sales teams to avoid conflicts of interest. Additionally, our rating criteria are publicly available and applied consistently to ensure unbiased assessments.

The projects listed adhere to recognized international standards and certifications, such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Gold Standard, and others.

Independent specialist third-party verifiers regularly audit and monitor the projects to ensure they meet high standards and deliver the promised emission reductions. Verification reports are available for transparency.

What are Carbon Offset Credits?

Carbon Offset Credits are a way for individuals and organisation to compensate for their carbon emissions by investing in environmental projects that reduce or remove carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These credits are measured in metric tons of CO2-equivalent emissions and can be purchased to offset emissions from activities such as travel, energy use, and more. By supporting projects that focus on renewable energy, reforestation, energy efficiency and carbon removal, carbon offset credits play a crucial role in the fight against climate change.
