Offsetting with Circular Ecology
The process of carbon offsetting your emissions involves procuring carbon credits and retiring the credits on behalf of the organisation. In order for a carbon credit to be have credibility, it must be:
- Additional – ensuring that the carbon reduction is real and permanent
- Verified – proving assurance on the quality and credibility of the credits
- Traceable – transparent and providing proof of the offset
Circular Ecology only sells offsets that meet these strict standards. In order to meet these criteria, there are carbon offsets available from various verification schemes, including:
- Gold Standard – https://www.goldstandard.org/
- Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) – https://verra.org/project/vcs-program/
- Plan Vivo – https://www.planvivo.org/
