EcoSecurities and ClimateBiz announce the findings of their recent carbon offsetting trends survey 2008.
Find out what 65 leading multinational organisations are doing in terms of their carbon management strategies. This primary quantitative research study provides industry insight and benchmarks regarding some of the strategies that are being utilised to help the transition to a low carbon economy. Some of the key findings include:
43% of organisations had already implemented an existing carbon management strategy, with a further 34% of organisations claiming to be in the process of developing one. 74% of all responses indicated that their organisation had already started implementing internal emission reduction activities. Over 88% of organisations were either currently undertaking carbon offsetting activities or would consider offsetting in the future. The most desirable project location for the purchase of carbon offsets was North America, closely followed by South America.
"For the first time we have a report that showcases the views of companies that have the largest impact on offset quality - the buyers."
