Carbon offsetting strategies

Robust net-zero strategies, as part of your organisation’s transition plan, have two key two components: decarbonization strategies and offsetting strategies. The purchase of carbon credits, used for neutralising emissions, is mandatory for meeting net-zero, however it can be expensive if not implemented in a strategic and calculated manner.  

In addition, customers; investors; best-practice guidance; and internal stakeholders are expecting your organisation to increase your climate action by taking responsibility for today’s emissions – aligning with the SBTi’s Beyond Value-Chain Mitigation guidance. 

Understanding the mechanisms for offsetting, and forecasting associated costs and risk management strategies is essential for successful, low-risk and cost-effective offsetting at scale. Developing an offsetting strategy should form a core part of your organisation’s transition planning.

Criteria assessment & Portfolio Definition

Establishing project criteria and identifying effective procurement mechanisms for your organisation are vital steps in creating a robust offsetting strategy. By doing so, you ensure that your strategy is tailored to your organisation’s specific requirements and objectives. Furthermore, suggesting scenarios to model based on your bespoke needs allows for thorough planning and optimisation, ultimately leading to a more effective and impactful offsetting strategy.
