Carbon Offsets

Navigate the opportunity of carbon offsets

As your organization works to reduce its carbon footprint, carbon offsetting can be an effective step toward decarbonization, but many companies find the offset market too complex. Understanding the opportunity and identifying projects that align with and provide the highest value for your business is key.

Carbon offsetting: You have choices.

Carbon offsets are a proven way to manage unabated residual emissions through credible projects. These fall under many different categories, and can span multiple geographies and industries, such as forestry, renewable energy, waste-to-energy, and more. 
The challenge is finding those projects that best align with your organization’s sustainability strategy.     

Our carbon experts help you understand the complexity and associated benefit of each project so you can make the right choice.

Market Transparency

Market Transparency

Ensuring the legitimacy of offset projects requires rigorous verification processes. To minimize transparency gaps, extensive subject knowledge is required to navigate the market dynamics, evolving standards, regulatory frameworks, projects, and certificate types. 

Additionality Assesment

Additionality Assesment

Determining whether a project’s emissions reductions would have occurred without the project is difficult to assess. It requires conducting technical baseline calculations and evaluating counterfactual scenarios. Moreover, a high level of expertise is required to ensure no double counting occurs across different compliance mechanisms and buyers. 

Pricing Dynamics

Pricing Dynamics

Carbon credit prices can fluctuate significantly due to supply and demand dynamics, regulatory changes, co-benefits and market sentiment. Furthermore, offset projects have varying costs, adding to the volatility, and making it challenging to establish consistent pricing benchmarks. 

Risk Management

Risk Management

Organizations have evolving emission reduction targets which are reflected in their sustainability budgets. This can cause fluctuation and unpredictability in the carbon offset budget allocation. It is crucial to manage this risk by finding the best value projects for them, which harmonize their sustainability goals and budgets.
