"This might just be the world's first truly ethical offseting scheme."
John Grant, Author of The Green Marketing ManifestoProject-based offsets often have social benefits. Are there any social benefits to taking EUAs out of circulation?
We don't think we're fence-sitting here by saying sort of.
We facilitate emission reductions in Europe, and we're dealing with major energy-intensive industries, so there's less opportunity for helping out communities at the same time.
The social benefits of offsetting projects can be hard to measure and we need to remember that our aim here is to reduce emissions. Globally, emission reduction and mitigation of climate change will have plenty of social benefits. We're focused on making sure the emission reductions happen.
