co2balance Southern Africa can help you minimise your carbon emissions and offset the unavoidable residue. Offsetting works by investing funds in sequestration or energy efficiency projects that absorb or prevent the release of a tonnage of CO2 equivalent to your Carbon Footprint.

co2balance Southern Africa is unlike any other provider of Voluntary Carbon Offsets as all its projects are fully additional, transparent and verified. We are working to the goal of getting all our offset projects through either the Voluntary Gold Standard or Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) by the end of 2008. This will not improve the quality of of our projects, which already far exceed these standards but it helps to give our clients additional confidence in what we are providing.

We retain full direct control of all our offset projects. Do something about your impact NOW.

We are not a bunch of brokers looking to trade carbon as just another commodity within our portfolio; we are passionate about the quality of what we provide. We calculate your Carbon Footprint, advise you how to reduce it to the minimum and then offset the residue. This goes further than some environmental groups like Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace that seem to advocate minimisation and leaving it there. We don’t believe that it’s right to stop there and ignore the unavoidable residual emissions. Steps should be taken to tackle them too.
