VERs / Verified Emission Reductions
Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) are certificates that serve as proof of successfully reduced greenhouse gas emissions. They are often generated as part of climate change mitigation projects (climate protection projects) in developing countries or emerging economies and can be purchased by companies or governments to meet their own emissions targets or demonstrate their commitment to climate change mitigation.
VERs are similar to Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), but there are some important differences in terms of monitoring and verification. While CERs are issued under the Kyoto Protocol, there is no uniform regulation for VERs and they are often verified by private standard-setting bodies such as the Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards (CCBS) or the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VERRA, VCS).
The goal of VERs is to promote emissions reductions in emerging or developing countries and to help companies and governments achieve their climate change mitigation goals.
Climate Protection: A Factor for Success
Properly implemented and communicated, climate protection can become a factor for success and open new opportunities in sales for your company.
carbon-connect AG offers industry-specific solutions for the calculation, reduction and CO 2 offsetting of CO 2 emissions. Our services include a package that covers communication within CSR activities and differentiation features. It will also improve your reputation and help you to win new customers.
Corporate Carbon Footprint
The carbon footprint covers all climate-relevant emissions of your economic activity. We create a CO 2 balance (Corporate Carbon Footprint) which corresponds directly with your entire value chain.
Carbon Footprint of your Product
The Product Carbon Footprint covers all climate-relevant emissions for the entire life cycle of a product or service (“from the cradle to the grave”).
Climate Neutral Event
When calculating the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CO 2 -Balance) of an event, all the emissions from relevant greenhouse gas which occur during this specific event are being analyzed and calculated by us.
treellionaire.com
We're making treellionaires! At the end of 2019, we launched the 1 Million-Tree-Challenge. Stop talking, start planting and and set an example against the threat of deforestation, erosion and a warmer planet.
Carbon Offsetting
With carbon offsetting, also known as “climate compensation”, CO2 emissions reaching the atmosphere at a specific location A are saved or compensated by supporting a climate protection project at a specific location B.
Carbon Insetting
When we consider carbon insetting, CO2 compensation (also called CO2 binding) becomes part of the corporate value chain, or compensates for CO2 emissions within the production chain of a company or corporation.
