Great news!! Carbonzero has just been rated one of the top vendors of carbon offsets in Canada.
I’m particularly proud of our rank as the only provider of Made-in-Canada offsets to meet the highest “Strong Performance” category in the report written by the David Suzuki Foundation and the Pembina Institute.
Carbonzero has worked hard in ensuring that the offsets that we provide are of the highest possible standard in Canada. Only companies providing Gold Standard offsets ranked higher than us
What many people don’t realize is that offsets most preferred by environmental groups, namely Gold Standard offsets, cannot be sourced from emissions reduction projects based in Canada. This is because the Gold Standard requires projects to be additional to any previously-announced reduction targets, including those promised by governments when they signed the Kyoto Protocol. Since Canada made such a commitment by signing the document in 2002, the Gold Standard organization simply won’t certify any Canadian projects at all.
Given the competition and the nature of the offset projects, the ranking given to Carbonzero validates the painstaking work we have done to ensure the quality of our local offsets despite having no existing instruction manual on how to do so. I’m proud that our expertise in climate, emissions and the carbon market has produced offsets of a quality that has garnered the attention of two of the most difficult-to-impress organizations in Canada.
Great work to all at Carbonzero!!
