Project Types in Our Portfolio
Our Climate Impact Portfolio is comprised of four types of carbon offset projects, all of which play an essential role in the fight against climate change by avoiding or removing carbon emissions.
Forests
Forestry projects protect, restore, and improve sustainable management of forest ecosystems. Safeguarding these critical habitats plays a vital role in carbon sequestration, while conserving biodiversity and the life-sustaining benefits that forests provide.
Energy
Energy projects decrease carbon pollution from energy use by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Clean energy projects fund renewable energy infrastructure, while efficiency projects support the application of new technologies or practices that lessen energy use.
Blue/Teal Carbon
Blue and teal carbon projects protect coastal and freshwater ecosystems that store substantial amounts of carbon. Along with sequestering carbon, these ecosystems protect communities from harmful climate impacts, provide habitats for marine life, and support the blue economy.
Innovative Tech
Innovative tech projects offer novel solutions to the climate crisis. For instance, solutions like soil carbon sequestration and direct air capture use inventive methods to remove CO2 from the air. These emerging technologies need additional financial support to bring them to scale.​
Designed to Supercharge Your Impact
Our portfolio is designed to amplify the impact of your carbon offset purchase. We actively manage our portfolio so that you don’t have to, carefully curating only high-integrity projects that truly reduce CO2 emissions and deliver a depth and breadth of sustainability benefits.
Project Diversification
Climate change is a multi-faceted problem that requires a combination of natural and technological solutions. Our carbon offset portfolio offers a simple way to support a wide variety of climate projects, from mangrove restoration to wind energy, while maintaining an affordable price point.
Quality Assurance
We meticulously vet every project that we include in our portfolio to ensure their legitimacy, quality, and reputation. In addition to complying with rigorous third-party standards, all projects must pass our own due diligence test which stems from 15+ years of carbon offsetting experience.
Community Benefits
We seek out projects that go above and beyond CO2 reductions by providing additional benefits for local communities and fragile ecosystems. We examine how each project contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and assemble a robust portfolio that delivers meaningful co-benefits.
