Carbon offsetting is arguably one of the most effective means of curbing unavoidable emissions while also accelerating the roll out of clean technologies in developing countries.
Whilst there may be some value to the argument that paying for an emissions reduction project to offset your own carbon footprint distracts from the more serious business of cutting emissions yourself, they remain an entirely valid means of driving investment in emission reduction projects and if managed properly they can form a useful component of an effective corporate carbon management program.
Carbon trading is an established, globally recognized means of investment that also helps to protect the future of our planet.
Large corporations are now committed to invest in the environment via carbon credits. This is known as the COMPLIANCE market. But, private companies and individuals may also elect to offset their carbon usage also. This is known as The VOLUNTARY market, where companies choose to purchase carbon credits to mitigate personal greenhouse gas emissions from general pollutants such as transportation and electricity usage. Some voluntary investments are made in anticipation of extended compliance rules, therefore protecting against a future rise in carbon credit prices.
Carbon credits that invest in Verified Emission Reduction projects help finance international projects, that have been developed to aid the well-being of our future generations.
