Many businesses and individuals are confused by the complexity of climate change. They do not know where to begin, mostly because they don't understand how their actions contribute to the problem and what the alternatives and solutions are. This is highly ineffective, since simple actions can have highly positive impacts, and often opportunities arise for organisations in the context of climate change if this challenging problem is being addressed.

We will help you assess your current situation and develop a strategy and action plan toward carbon neutrality - towards becoming Climate Wise

The Process

1. Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The first step for any company, organisation and even individual prior to launching climate actions is to define their goals. Solely purchasing offsets might not be the most efficient step you can take.

Particularly for companies, with complex stakeholder structure, this step is crucial. For companies, key questions to consider when assessing the situation include:

• What is the environmental strategy and is climate change integrated?
• What risks does climate change represent for the industry in general for the company in particular?
• What is the level of stakeholder and customer interest in your organisation's direct and product's impacts on climate change?
• In which way are there expectations and upcoming obligations to engage in the voluntary carbon market?
• Calculate the carbon footprint of your company- the minimal step is to calculate the direct footprint. Additionally, indirect impacts, such as full-life-cycle analysis of products and travel and transport emissions of products and employees can be assessed.
• We will conduct a abatement cost analysis, which compares the marginal cost of additional internal reductions versus purchasing offsets

2. Internal Emission Reductions

Maximizing energy efficiency can lead to significant emissions and cost savings. Hence it should be one of the priorities to maximize energy efficiency within your own company, in the operations and the travel and transport management.

The less energy used, the fewer carbon offsets will be needed, and the lower the long-term costs of operations.

3. Purchase Emission Offsets

We will assist you in achieving the offsetting goals set within your Climate Change Strategy in the most effective way. Greenhouse gas emissions can be offset in a wide range of ways. We will select decision criteria with you and identify the most suitable offset projects.

4. Communicate Your Actions

Unlike many offset retailers, we won't stop with sourcing carbon credits for you. We assist you in exploring the exiting range of market opportunities that is open to you after your investment into our climate. This can range fro integrating into your overall brand, to creating specific marketing campaigns or even green products.
