Carbon Credits Consulting
Offsetting as an additional component of holistic climate strategies
Carbon credits are becoming increasingly important for companies as they offer a supplementary way of offsetting unavoidable CO₂ emissions from operational activities. They can play a role in transitional phases in particular, when emission reductions through technological changes, efficiency measures or the use of renewable energies have not yet been fully realized.
For companies, carbon credits help to credibly support climate targets and improve emissions balances in the short term. At the same time, their use only makes sense if it is part of a holistic climate strategy that gives clear priority to avoiding and reducing emissions, thereby ensuring long-term competitiveness, value creation and sustainability.
