Climate Neutrality
Climate Neutrality empowers you to take immediate action to reduce your organization's environmental impact. By funding emission reduction projects, companies can offset their unavoidable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Purchasing Certified Emission Reduction units allows you to begin minimizing your climate impact immediately while you develop and implement long-term offsetting strategies.
The Principle of Climate Neutrality
Climate change is a global problem best met with global solutions. Carbon offsetting is based on the principle that the climate is affected by the net amount of worldwide GHG emissions and therefore benefits equally from emissions reductions regardless of the location.
Carbon credits are generated from emission reduction projects around the world. For each tonne of carbon avoided through the project activity, one carbon credit is generated. Revenues from credit sales finance the prevention of one tonne of carbon released into the atmosphere. By purchasing an amount of credits equivalent to the total amount of your unavoidable emissions, your overall carbon balance is zero.
Go Climate Neutral
A climate neutral program can consist of tracking, reducing and offsetting your business flights, which is usually the largest source of unavoidable emissions in a service-oriented business. As a manufacturer, you can determine and offset the carbon footprint of your products and services and use our ‘Climate Neutral Label. You could also extend your product line with a climate neutral rate to give your customers a climate-friendly option. First Climate's marketing experts can design a wide range of communication tools, such as online carbon calculators, micro web-sites, climate card games or information brochures to positvely reinforce your climate neutral campaign.
Ambitious businesses have the opportunity to turn their company into a climate leader by implementing a carbon management system and offset their entire carbon footprint. A well-implemented program anticipates climate risks and turns them into business opportunities. Such programs often go hand-in-hand with leaner manufacturing, process optimization, customer relationship management or awareness-raising and education campaigns for your staff.
First Climate can support you along the entire way: assessing your initial carbon position, implementing a carbon management system, offsetting the unavoidable emissions with suited emission reduction projects, tracking the carbon performance and communicating your climate message to your stakeholders.
