Compensates for CO₂ emissions

CO₂ offsetting is the process by which a company neutralizes non-reducible emissions by funding certified projects that avoid, reduce, or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere.

Up2You only proposes projects that comply with the highest international standards, specifically:
- Gold Standard, an international standard published and managed by the Gold Standard Foundation, a non-profit association based in Geneva, Switzerland. It ensures that every credit corresponds to a real, measurable, and verified reduction of CO₂, with documented environmental and social benefits.
- Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), an international offset standard defined by Verra. It is currently the most widely used standard globally, ensuring project additionality (meaning the reductions would not have occurred without the project) and transparency in credit tracking.

- Emission reduction happens internally by changing company processes and behaviors;
- offsetting addresses residual emissions that cannot be eliminated immediately, balancing them through climate projects.

Up2You offers 7 thematic packages that align with specific corporate values:
- Made in Italy: projects within the country.
- Forest: reforestation and forest protection.
- Blue Carbon: protection of marine and coastal ecosystems.
- Biodiversity: conservation of flora and fauna.
- SDG Mix: projects contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- Social Impact: clean energy and water access in disadvantaged communities.
- Technology: innovative solutions for CO₂ capture or reduction.

The company receives an official certificate including:
- quantity of CO₂ offset;
- unique tracking code;
- details of the chosen project;
- claims and badges for external communication.
