Our Climate Protection Projects – Enabling Your Engagement
We offer one of the most extensive portfolios of climate protection projects, certified to the highest standards in the market. We prioritize renewable energy, energy efficiency and forest conservation projects that are sustainable – resulting in clear socio-economic and environmental benefits. All of our projects are additional, meaning that without the income generated through the sale of certificates, they wouldn’t be feasible at all. These projects rely on our collective on-going support.
