Carbon offsets

Sourced from local and global projects to suit voluntary and compliance requirements.

What is carbon neutrality?

Carbon neutrality means that you have achieved an overall balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced and greenhouse gas emissions taken out of the atmosphere.

As it is almost impossible to avoid the creation of greenhouse gases emissions entirely, you will need to balance these unavoidable emissions through the purchase of carbon offsets. Carbon offsetting is one way to balance the unavoidable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions we produce. Our team can tailor a carbon offset solution to align with your brand values and support your environmental outcomes.

When you invest in carbon offsetting projects you are doing more than removing greenhouse gas emissions, you are investing in the future.

Taking positive climate action is viewed favourably by consumers and the broader community. As a business that offsets emissions voluntarily, you will be able to leverage media and promote your efforts in marketing to attract your ideal customers.

What is carbon offsetting?

A carbon offset is generated by an activity that either prevents the release of, reduces, or removes GHG emissions from the atmosphere.

Emission reduction projects around the world generate carbon offsets from activities such as renewable energy, biogas and reforestation. Co-benefits of projects include improved economic, social and health for local communities.

Our portfolio of carbon offsets contains high quality credits that are sourced from projects from within Australia and across the globe. This gives you the freedom to choose carbon offsets that align with your business values and goals.

How it works

Carbon offsets are quantified in metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) where one tonne purchased equates to one less tonne of carbon in the atmosphere.

Negating your unavoidable emissions is possible through the purchase of carbon offsets. Offsets can be purchased by anyone and can be used to balance all or part of emissions measured.

Carbon standards

The voluntary and compliance carbon offset markets have a range of validation and verification standards across the globe.

The Australian Government’s initiative Climate Active (formerly NCOS) provides guidance on what is a genuine voluntary offset and sets minimum requirements for calculating, auditing and offsets.

Other well known International Accreditation Standards of the voluntary market include: Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), The Gold Standard (GS), Social CarbonAustralian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD).

Steps to become carbon neutral

Measure

Calculate your footprint by account for all of your GHG emissions

Reduce

Adopt energy efficiency measures and shift to renewable energy

Offset

Purchase offsets to compensate for unavoidable emissions

Contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Carbon Neutral can help you support carbon offset projects that deliver on the SDGs. Our Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor project and the international offset projects we are licensed to sell contribute to different combinations of the 17 Goals.

 

We can help you balance your carbon footprint by supporting the projects that fits your business’ strategy and scope, such as focusing on locations or causes most relevant to them.
