Offset Guidance Reports for Business Prominently Feature CCB Standards

December, 2006 - In a new report, “The Three Stage Approach to Developing a Robust Offsetting Strategy”, published by the influential Carbon Trust (an organization founded by the UK Government to help companies meet and profit from the climate challenge) the Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards were featured as one of only four credible voluntary offset standards being used in the marketplace.  The full report, which strongly recommends the use of these offset standards as a means to protect corporate reputation and ensure real GHG reductions are being achieved, can be downloaded here.

In addition, the CCB Standards were featured prominently in several other reports, including, Business for Social Responsibility’s “A Three-Pronged Approach to Corporate Climate Strategy” (Oct 06) and The Ecosystem Marketplace’s “Offsetting Emissions: A Business Brief on the Voluntary Carbon Market” (Dec 06).  The BSR homepage provides summaries and links to both reports.
