How we are helping our clients to become carbon neutral

Companies working to become carbon neutral need to consider three things:
 
Carbon analysis footprint:
taking the steps to estimate a GHG footprint can inform management, set the stage for identifying emission reduction opportunities or establish a baseline against which to measure GHG emissions reduction commitments. A company can use this invaluable information in developing a robust carbon strategy.

Commitment to a carbon management strategy:
for a company to truly become carbon neutral it may require long-term development in new technology and operational processes, significant capital investment and internal employee behaviour change, all of which take time. Therefore a company needs to be committed to reducing this GHG footprint by investing in a long tern carbon management strategy.

Carbon offsetting:
external measures such as carbon offsetting can provide short term environmental benefits. It is a quick, easy and cost effective way to balance a carbon footprint whilst a company waits for the fruition of its internal abatement measures.
 
EcoSecurities has the experience, the portfolio and the expertise to help clients mitigate the effects of climate change ensuring any claims of carbon neutrality are not only rigorous but transparent. Highlighted below are examples of carbon neutral best practice.

Yahoo!
In April 2007, Yahoo! announced its decision to become carbon neutral. After reviewing over 100 projects and undertaking much due diligence, Yahoo! decided to offset part of its 250 thousand metric ton carbon footprint from 2006 using pre-registration VERs from EcoSecurities’ Primavera hydropower project, located near Catorce de Abril, a small village in the state of Rondonia, 1,400 miles northwest of Sao Paulo. Primavera is a small run-of-river dam, which means it uses natural flow and elevation drop to generate electricity. Although hydropower is common in Brazil as a whole, much of this region receives its power from state-subsidised diesel plants, therefore investing in a clean power project here seemed to be a critical and timely decision for Yahoo!. read more...
