Offsetting your impact on
CO2
global emissions
for
COMPANIES
and Organisations in general
Go carbon neutral as part of your Corporate Social Responsibility
Concerns over
climate change provide an opportunity to show that you are motivated to
take responsibility for the impact your business is having on the
environment basically through direct energy consumption, staff flights, etc.
More over, going carbon neutral
does not necessarily should imply a cost. In fact, your company may
derive benefits from incorporating carbon
offsetting as part of a carbon reduction strategy.
|
|
Many companies recognise that carbon offsetting is an
essential part of an integrated carbon management programme,
delivering the following benefits:
▪ Carbon offsetting provides an opportunity to reduce
carbon emissions to meet a significant target which will
build reputation and leadership. Meeting a carbon neutral
target is the only way a business can say it has taken full
responsibility for its carbon emissions making it an
integral part of their social responsibility programme.
▪ Frequently carbon offset are more immediate and
cost-effective emission reductions than those which can be
achieved through internal reductions.
▪ For leased offices or manufacturing facilities,
infrastructure changes which make an impact on carbon
emissions can take significant time and budget to implement.
▪ Carbon offsetting creates a cost benchmark against which
all other carbon reduction activities can be measured. |
At
EcoSystem Europa
we enable organisations to offset,
wholly or partially, their carbon footprint, providing them with the corresponding
external certificate.
... for CORPORATIONS &
Large Organisations:
We
are now in a world of increased corporate social responsibility
(CSR) where consumers and employees are more concerned about the
environment. This means your business's corporate carbon strategy
makes both social and commercial sense. To have a carbon reduction
and offsetting strategy in place enhance your corporate image and
increases positive customer perception, while demonstrating CSR.
...
as well as
SMEs
Your
company can derive benefits from having a carbon reduction and
offsetting strategy in place: Many individuals prefer conduct business
with organisations that can demonstrate a solid carbon management
programme. Big manufacturers are growing to state requirements to their
suppliers regarding they to have a low-carbon strategy in place.

More over,
the road towards
approaching carbon-emissions neutrality does not necessarily imply
an extra-cost.
Consumers are increasingly choosing to engage more with business that
have a low carbon strategy, and exhibit concerns over their impact on
climate change. Becoming carbon neutral can be used as a brand
differentiation (green marketing).
EcoSystem Europa
offers to you its carbon offsetting services in the framework of your
company’s carbon reduction strategy to fight climate change

STEPS FOR YOU TO OFFSET
◊
Define
your ‘go carbon neutral’ policy
◊
Evaluate
your present annual carbon footprint
(tn. of CO2-equivalent)
-
from Company’s overall activities; or some specific ones, as
- .. Corporate big events,
like annual conventions,
- .. Staff’s business trips
- ....
◊
Decide the extent of your
offsetting
Which
part of the above? Your decision will then translate into a given
'X' Tn. of CO2-equivalent".
◊
Offsetting
of that decided impact, through certified projects
The
above
tn. of CO2-equivalent TN. will be offset by our buying-and-cancelling
carbon credits on your behalf
-in the Union Registry-, ensuring that
carbon reductions of the same quantity are achieved in your name.
One carbon
credit guarantees a reduction
of 1 tn. CO2
on
global emissions.
These
carbon-reduction credits are sourced
from
projects that have been validated by international
entities,
and whose emissions-reductions are
independently verified to strict guide lines.

HOW WE
PROCEED
Our offsetting
services run on the following basis: According to your
decision regarding the scope of your offsetting policy, ...
→
We offer to you
specific certified projects
(see below) for you to
choose
the one/s to which contribute/support through the
international compensation mechanism described before (
→
), at the time we inform you regarding
the respective prices for carbon-credit of those
projects. (price per tn. of CO2 reduction).
→
Following your choice, we buy in the carbon-credits market
the number of carbon credits -usually
Certified Emissions Reduction,
CER; but also VER (see below)-,
and authomatically we
cancell them on your behalf in
the public
Union
Registry (UR) that keeps the European Union.
→
As a result, then we provide to you a certificate stating the above,
with the public guarantee of the UR.
Thus, the projects
included in our offering portfolio will
enhance your CSR strategy as they include strong social and green
energy benefits.

THE PROJECTS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE:
 independently audited,
generate
certified 'carbon credits',
on the grounds of
verified reduction of GHG emissions
The offsetting projects
we select have been endowed with certified
carbon credits either Certified Emission Reductions (CER)
-in the case of
Clean Development Mechanism's
projects- or Verified
Emissions Reductions (VER).
In the latter case the projects are not necessarily in less developed
countries but they may even be local. These VER's projects make part of
the so-called voluntary (unregulated) carbon credit
offsetting market. However, the VER are certified and audited
under criteria (as The Gold Standard's, f.e.) similar to those applied
by the UNFCCC; and their annual emissions-reduction's audits are issued
by internationally credited entities, as f.e. TÜV (which in turn is
also the main certifying entity credited by the UNFCCC for its
projects).
Thus, by
buying such carbon credits you will also be actively participating in
those sustainable development projects: Beyond
to reduce carbon emissions, to generate jobs, provide affordable energy
to locals, or improve local living conditions are key elements
for a project to be validated and certified.
Thus, your offsetting will not only have a positive impact on the global
environment -which in some way might appear as something abstract: You
will be also contributing to a sustainable progress of precarious
economy communities.
