Using Carbon Retirement as part of your environmental strategy demonstrates serious engagement with climate change. There are lots of reasons why this is the most robust and credible approach to offsetting your unavoidable emissions, including:
- It delivers a high degree of confidence in the quantity of the emission reduction;
- It is always additional - the emissions that you prevent would certainly occur if you were not to retire the credits; and
- There is no risk of fraud or double counting somewhere along the supply chain.
Carbon Retirement can be used as part of a strategy to manage a corporate carbon footprint, or it could be bundled with products so customers can offset their own emissions.
Using Carbon Retirement to offset all or part of the unavoidable emissions from your organisation's operations sends a powerful message to your customers, staff and stakeholders. It is a clearly differentiated approach to emission reduction.
Link retirement of carbon credits to products. Each time your customer purchases a product, they can be given the option to retire allowances from the EU Emission Trading Scheme and offset the emissions from manufacturing or using the product. This shows customers you're committed to making a difference and supporting them in addressing their own carbon footprints.
