EcoSecurities, ClimateBiz and Baker & McKenzie LLP publish the findings of their recent ‘Carbon Management and Offsetting Trends’ survey results 2009.
 
This year’s response was encouragingly high with over 300 corporations, covering a diverse array of industry sectors, taking the time to fill in the original questionnaire.
 
The survey provides an authentic insight into the thoughts and opinions of multinational and regional organisations with regards to carbon management strategies and offsetting. Furthermore, the report examines the critical factors which drive end-users to purchase carbon offsets as well as the buyers’ desires in terms of project type, location and standard.
 
Some of the key findings include:
  • Over three quarters of companies have implemented or have started developing a carbon management strategy
  • Two thirds of respondents have already offset their carbon emissions or will consider offsetting in the future
  • Environmental benefits (91%) were highlighted as one of the main motivations for interest in carbon offsets, closely followed by carbon neutrality and marketing (89%)
  • 72% of participants nominated the US as the most desirable geographic region for purchasing offsets; this may reflect the desire for domestic projects as 56% of the respondents came from North America. Africa and South America were also rated as highly desirable locations for emission reduction projects
  • Respondents prefer renewable energy projects above any other project type with solar scoring 92% and wind 86%
