Monthly Offset Cycle
1. Comprehensive Tallying: Each month, we meticulously tally all the carbon offsets for which we have taken legal liability. This includes offsets from individuals looking to neutralize their daily carbon footprint, businesses aiming to green their operations, and special events seeking sustainability. Our goal is to ensure that every contribution is accurately accounted for, laying the groundwork for precise and impactful offsetting.
2. Project Funding: Between the 1st and 14th of each month, we channel the collected offsets into a carefully curated selection of verified projects. These projects are not only chosen for their ability to reduce carbon emissions but also for their potential to improve livelihoods and protect ecosystems. We focus on initiatives certified by leading standards, including the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) by Verra, Gold Standard (GS), Climate Action Reserve (CAR), American Carbon Registry (ACR), and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
3. Independent Verification: From the 15th to the 25th of each month, an independent climate change auditor reviews our offsets and the projects we've supported. This rigorous verification process ensures that every offset we claim aligns with the highest standards of environmental integrity and impact. The auditor's report is a cornerstone of our commitment to transparency and accountability.
4. Rest and Review: The remaining days of the month serve as a buffer period. This time allows us to address any discrepancies identified during the audit and make any necessary adjustments. It's a crucial step in our commitment to accuracy and reliability.
5. Annual Triple Check: Beyond our monthly checks, we conduct an annual review with an independent chartered accountant. This comprehensive audit serves to triple-check our records and offsetting activities, ensuring no errors have been made throughout the year. It's an extra layer of assurance for us and, more importantly, for you, our valued customers.
