Carbon emissions

What is the problem with carbon emissions?

CO2, or carbon, is a greenhouse gas that naturally occurs in the atmosphere. Along with other greenhouse gases, CO2 helps retain the sun's heat, making life on earth possible. However, scientists have determined that the amount of CO2 in the air is increasing. This rise is mainly due to the burning of oil and gas and the production of fertilizers. Higher carbon emissions contribute to global warming.

Carbon credits

What are carbon credits?

Nature offers various ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Plants, trees, and oceans can all store carbon. Additionally, there are technological solutions, such as machines that capture carbon from the air. If your company financially supports a project that either removes carbon from the atmosphere or prevents additional carbon from being released, you receive a certificate for it. This is known as a carbon credit. One carbon credit represents one tonne (1,000 kg) of carbon emissions removed or prevented.

Projects

What are sustainability projects?

Sustainability projects contribute to a better living environment. Ecommit collaborates with sustainability projects both domestically and internationally that offset carbon emissions. These projects use technology, agriculture, reforestation, and other innovative methods to remove carbon from the air. Before we invest in a project, we conduct thorough research. The project must be certified, and the carbon credits must be registered. This ensures that we provide your company with a reliable and effective way to offset carbon emissions.

Sustainability

What are the benefits of more sustainable business practices?

A sustainability policy offers your organization numerous advantages. First and foremost, you contribute to solutions for climate issues. There are already many environmental standards and regulations, and these will only increase in the future. Suppliers and partners increasingly expect companies to commit to sustainability. Responsible business practices also lead to engaged employees and attract new talent. Additionally, a strong corporate reputation helps you attract and retain customers.

What does offsetting offer your business?

More attractive to partners

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important to partners and suppliers. By purchasing carbon credits of projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere, you demonstrate that your company is actively engaged in sustainability.

Employee engagement

Employees often feel more connected to a sustainable employer. Carbon offsetting also attracts new, talented individuals who resonate with your company's values and principles.

Appealing to customers

Businesses and individuals are becoming more conscious and prefer companies committed to sustainability. Many customers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products and services.

Added value for products

Carbon credits help you stand out from the competition. Making sustainability a key part of your business adds value to your products or services and gives you an edge in bidding processes.

Crucial for financing

For banks and other financiers, a sustainability plan is highly valuable. Efforts to avoid, reduce, and offset carbon emissions are often a requirement for funding.

Future-oriented image

Frequently asked questions about sustainable business

Sustainable business, or corporate social responsibility, revolves around balancing people, planet, and profit. By integrating social responsibility into your policies, your company takes responsibility.

Sustainability projects, or climate protection projects, either remove carbon from the air or prevent additional carbon emissions. This includes agriculture, agroforestry, or reforestation. Projects must meet stringent criteria, validated and verified by independent organizations according to internationally recognized standards. Only after verification can carbon credits be issued by the project organization. Projects are monitored during their duration to ensure goals are met and carbon absorption occurs as planned.

Ecommit conducts thorough research before investing in sustainability projects. Our procurement team assesses the effectiveness of each project's carbon offsetting approach and evaluates reliability. We consider factors such as project location, organization credibility, certifications, and numerous other criteria. Whenever possible, we visit projects to observe operations and meet stakeholders. Once all criteria are met, we finalize legal matters and buy a large quantity of carbon credits.

The sustainability transition, also known as the energy transition, involves shifting from fossil fuels to sustainable and renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal energy. This transition is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change, ensuring a sustainable environment for current and future generations. It aims to protect our planet and secure livability for ourselves and future generations alike.
