Offset your emissions
Carbon offsetting plays an important role in any robust carbon management strategy by enabling a business to rapidly, and effectively meet its reduction target. Through the use of carbon offsetting, businesses can bridge the gap between their internal reductions and their carbon reduction goal. The importance of this bridge is directly acknowledged in the Paris Agreement, which encourages the parties to partake in forest-based emissions reductions.
Each verified carbon unit (VCU) purchased protects a specific endangered forest and prevents a tonne of CO2 from entering the earth's atmosphere. As the largest such project in the world, Katingan Mentaya produces almost 7.5 million VCUs per year. Because of your purchase, forests are left standing to do what they do best — store carbon, produce oxygen, provide habitat for threatened and endemic species, and support the sustainable development of local community initiatives.
All of our VCUs are independently audited to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), and Climate Community and Biodiversity (CCB) standards. Our triple gold accreditation under these standards gives you the reassurance of a premium quality credit that not only offsets carbon but provides significant biodiversity and community benefits.
Through a combination of robust monitoring, reporting and verification procedures, along with transparent communication of our contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals we enable you to directly align your purchase with your broader organizational goals.
Climate change represents an immediate threat to global ecological and economic stability. The purchase of Katingan Mentaya Project verified carbon credits enables you to make a direct and immediate contribution to reducing that threat, and securing our natural forests.
