What does it mean to compensate?

OffsettingCO2 emissions means financing actions that avoid, reduce or remove greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

FAQ
You may be wondering:

How doesCO2 offsetting take place?

Supporting our certified projects means making possible actions to capture or not emitCO2 into the atmosphere. For example, Technology package projects enable the development of renewable energy in areas where fossil fuels would otherwise be used, thus avoiding the emission of large amounts ofCO2. Or the Forest package projects, focused on reforestation, allowCO2 to be captured by planting trees that, without the project, would not exist.This captured or reducedCO2, then, will allow you to balance the emissions produced by your company.

What are carbon credits?

Carbon credits (or carbon credits) are an instrument that certifies the capture or non-emission of CO₂ through environmental protection projects, which were created for the sole purpose of offsetting or reducing CO₂ emissions.

Each carbon credit corresponds to one tonne of offsetCO2 equivalent.In terms of cost value, within voluntary carbon markets, no fixed upstream price is set, but this depends on the meeting of supply and demand. Thus, the price of a carbon credit (1 ton ofCO2 eq) can vary widely, based on various factors (including: the quality of the projects generating the credits, the type of projects, the volumes purchased, etc.).

How do I know that by investing in the projects I am actually offsetting my emissions?

Simple, we are certified! OurCO2 capture or non-emission projects are third-party certified and follow the Verra and Gold Standards. In addition, you will have access to all the information about theCO2 taken out of the atmosphere by your company, and related projects.

Can I get any certification?

Absolutely! An important part of the climate journey is communicating your results. That's why we will provide you with Up2You certifications, so that your commitment to this journey is certified and your customers have a quality assurance, enabling them to opt for more sustainable products and services. But that's not all, our calculation methodology is in line with the GHG Protocol, the gold standard for carbon footprint accounting. Therefore, the result obtained can be used to undergo audits by an accredited third party, to obtain certifications such as PAS 2060 or B Corp, thanks to the documentation we will provide.

Will I also achieve economic results by offsetting my emissions?

As several studies and researches show, today starting on a path of environmental sustainability and in particular offsetting one's corporate emissions can be particularly advantageous for several reasons:
- you attract financing more easily, since environmental impact is now a criterion when evaluating which company to turn investments toward;
- you attract talent to the company, who are increasingly interested in environmental issues, even in job search;
- you align yourself with new regulations, also obtaining several tax breaks.

Perhaps I can wait until the state imposes carbon neutrality on all companies before I proceed to offset my emissions.

Of course, keep in mind, however, that:

- you do not exploit the competitive advantage of being one of the few carbon neutral companies today. There is evidence that customers and investors today are much more sensitive to sustainability issues and choose companies that are pioneers in this regard;
- you can access tax and financial benefits that may no longer be guaranteed when carbon neutrality becomes the norm.

In short, don't wait for change! Start enjoying the benefits now.
