Net zero does not mean emitting nothing at all, but offsetting what you emit

Zero emissions? That is impossible. But net zero emissions are possible: removing as much carbon from the air as you emit. And that is what carbon credits have been developed for.

Reducing carbon emissions to zero in the coming years is not feasible. After all, no one emits nothing. What the Climate Goals are all about is net zero emissions. Net zero means removing as much carbon from the air as you emit.

And carbon credits ensure that that removal takes place. Interestingly, while you finance climate projects that remove carbon from the air, your investment can also benefit your business.

How can you achieve that benefit? By entering the carbon credit market early. Carbon credits are not available in unlimited quantities. Mandatory carbon removal in international aviation (CORSIA) and Article 6 of the Paris Climate Agreement are driving up demand for carbon credits. At the same time, many projects do not meet the stricter integrity and verification standards.

Carbon credits that you buy now do not always have to be used immediately in your business. This allows you to build up your own carbon credit stock for future use. You can also hold on to your carbon credits until prices rise and sell them to a party that needs carbon credits.

Whether your ambitions lie in the field of climate action, CSRD compliance, making a profit, or taking steps towards climate neutrality, we can help you achieve them.
