How does CO compensation take place2?
Supporting our certified projects means making possible actions to capture or not emit CO2 in the atmosphere. For example, the Technology package projects allow the development of renewable energy in areas where fossil fuels would otherwise be used, thus avoiding the emission of large amounts of CO2. Or again, the Forest package projects, focused on reforestation, make it possible to capture CO2 thanks to the planting of trees that, without the project, would not exist. This CO2 captured or reduced, therefore, will allow you to balance the emissions produced by your company.
What are carbon credits?
Carbon credits (or carbon credits) are a tool that certifies the capture or non-emission of CO₂ through environmental protection projects, created with the sole purpose of offsetting or reducing CO₂ emissions.
Each carbon credit corresponds to one ton of CO2 compensated equivalent. As far as the value in terms of costs is concerned, within voluntary carbon markets, a fixed upstream price is not established, but this depends on the encounter between supply and demand. So, the price of a carbon credit (1 ton of CO2 eq) can vary widely, based on various factors (including: the quality of the projects that generate the credits, the type of projects, the volumes purchased, etc.).
How do I know that by investing in projects I am actually offsetting my emissions?
Simple, we are certified! Our projects for the capture or non-emission of CO2 are certified by third parties and follow the Verra and Gold Standard standards. In addition, you will have access to all the information about the CO2 subtracted from the atmosphere of your company, and on related projects.
Can I get some certification?
Absolutely yes! An important part of the climate journey is the communication of the results obtained. For this reason, we will provide you with Up2You certifications, so that your commitment to this path is certified and your customers have a quality guarantee, allowing them to opt for more sustainable products and services. But that's not all, our calculation methodology is in line with the GHG Protocol, the reference standard for carbon footprint accounting. For this reason, the result obtained can be used to undergo checks by an accredited third party, to obtain certifications such as PAS 2060 or B Corp, thanks to the documentation that we will provide you.
Will I also achieve economic results by offsetting my emissions?
As demonstrated by various studies and researches, today starting a path of environmental sustainability and in particular offsetting your business emissions can prove to be particularly advantageous for several reasons:
- attract funding more easily, since environmental impact is now a reference criterion in evaluating which company to invest in;
- attract talent to the company, increasingly interested in environmental issues, even in the search for work;
- you align yourself with the new regulations, also obtaining various tax breaks.
Perhaps I can wait for the State to impose carbon neutrality on all companies before proceeding to offset my emissions.
Of course, keep in mind though, that:
- you don't take advantage of the competitive advantage of being one of the few carbon neutral companies today. It has been demonstrated that today's customers and investors are much more sensitive to the issue of sustainability and choose companies that are pioneers in this regard;
- you can access fiscal and financial benefits that may no longer be guaranteed when carbon neutrality becomes the norm.
In short, don't wait for the change! Start enjoying the benefits now.
