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.

Formula 1 is our core business. We are passionate and committed to it, but we also want to be responsible and to actively help protect the environment. We have been carbon neutral since 2011. carbon-connect measures our CO 2 emissions and we offset these via the REDD APD project in the Amazon rain forest. -
Probably the most important part of environmental sustainability is combating climate change, and to do that we must reduce global CO 2 emissions. We are one of the first players in the MotoGP industry to be carbon neutral. We have been measuring the greenhouse gases we emit since 2015 and we offset these via the high-quality REDD APD climate protection project in Brazil. This project works to stop deforestation and thus maintain the diversity of the Amazon rain forest. -

As the father of four children I believe the future of our planet was and is crucial, and it is an issue that is close to my heart. Our world still gets a lot of things wrong when it comes to climate policy, so I think each individual person has an obligation to address the issue of climate change and do what they can to stop it. I am convinced that with its business idea carbon-connect AG is still breaking new ground, but that this concept will play an important role in the future of our planet. Not only that, but the company has combined climate protection and profitability in a unique way, which was another thing that persuaded me to get involved with the company.

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.

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.
