What do you get when you off-set with Credible Carbon?

Credible Carbon's overarching aim is to channel as much money as possible towards the type of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects that also alleviate poverty in Africa.

• We recognise the increasing use of the term 'carbon neutral' as an important and attractive principle in mangaing personal and corporate carbon strategies. We, however, do not use it. What we can guarantee is a verified quantum of carbon reduction that is exclusively attributable to your purchase of Credible Carbon credits. Whether that makes you carbon neutral, or whether this is enough or not is a personal and moral decision that rests with each of our clients.
  
• Instead we seek to make the climate change and poverty impact of Credible Carbon off-sets additional to business as usual and easily quantifiable. We believe that the extent and nature of both climate change and poverty impacts should be clear to both investors and beneficiaries. Where it is not, this is a problem of project choice and design, and not something for auditors to prove or disprove through processes that no reasonable person can relate to.
• We apply UNFCCC's carbon trading standards in our projects and seek to apply Gold Standard criteria where applicable. We do not, however, certify our projects with other standards (even though some have previousopy been certified CDM and Gold Standard).
• We require beneficiaries, whether individuals or institutions, to make an own contribution towards their projects so as to ensure their buy-in.
• We use local technicians and engineers in all our projects to ensure maximum benefit to the local economy.
• We encourage close and ongoing relationships between off-setters and beneficiaries in the belief that these relationships can be more valuable than a financial contribution.
