Carbon Credits
Objective:
When it comes to choosing your carbon offsetting provider, you should look at the whole package. Selecting a supplier that offers more than just selling you CO2 certificates bears significant advantages for your organisation. South Pole's offsetting services go far beyond the mere provision of carbon credits.
Challenge
The market for carbon offsetting is competitive, and therefore finding a suitable partner is a challenge. Establishing a lasting relationship with a trustworthy and reliable provider is essential. With the wealth of information at our disposal, South Pole is the ideal partner to provide real added value for you. This will help you differentiate yourself from your competitors.
Companies establish climate leadership through measuring, reducing and offsetting carbon. When investing in climate neutrality, one of the first questions to clarify is: which kind of emission reduction project suits your business? Ideally, the project is located in a country where your business operates. It should also be based on a technology related to your core business and your sustainability strategy. Becoming climate neutral today means more than offsetting your corporate carbon footprint. On top of environmental impacts, corporate responsibility, marketing and product management ask for social and economic impacts generated by an emission reduction project. South Pole is in the perfect position to respond to this type of requirement.
Solution
Unlock the communication potential of your investment in climate neutrality. Clearly position yourself as a responsible organisation. Attract new business by understanding and compensating your carbon footprint, and by communicating your engagement in a genuine and transparent manner. As a result, you will exceed your clients' and stakeholders' expectations. South Pole's offer consists of a comprehensive approach that considers carbon credits as a means to an end. They make up the currency in which climate engagements are quantified and lead to meaningful improvements for the environment, global society and local economy. Based on this approach, south pole offers tailor-made solutions that help you achieve the targets of your climate strategy.
