On average, every office worker generates approximately 1 carbon tonne a year.Â
We partner with CNaught to purchase a diversified portfolio of carbon offsets designed to maximize impact, mitigate risk, and foster innovation. The World Economic Forum recommends a portfolio approach to offsets and the CNaught portfolio embodies the science-based best practices laid out in Oxford’s Principles for Carbon Offsetting.

Located in the center of ‘the lungs of the earth’, with the goal of reducing deforestation and protecting biodiversity. In addition, the mechanism can help fight poverty while sustaining vital ecosystem services.

The main goal of the Jacundá project is the promotion of a sustainable extractive community. Through reducing forest degradation and unplanned and illegal deforestation, emission of greenhouse gasses (GHG) are reduced. The reserve has a territory of 95.000 hectares. It is the goal to avoid deforestation of 35,398 hectares over a 30-year period.
The area is home to threatened endemic species of flora, mammals and birds; species of which the residents of the Protected Area depend upon to live. Via the commercialization of environmental services, the community residents now have a way to grow their social development and conserve their territory.

One of the highest-regarded avoided deforestation projects in the world, protects and restores 149,800 hectares of peatland ecosystems that would have been converted into palm or other plantations.

The Katingan Mentaya Project protects and restores 149,800 hectares of peatland ecosystems in Indonesia. The surrounding land was drained and converted to palm and other plantations, and the project prevents the protected area from the same fate. The project supports a vitally important and dense carbon sink. While peatlands represent only 0.3% of the earth’s surface, their destruction contributes between 2-5% of annual anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
Katingan is one of the highest-regarded, large-scale avoided deforestation projects in the world. Carbon project ratings agencies Sylvera and BeZero both rate the project as high-impact and low risk. Calyx Global and Renoster both give it a medium risk score, reflecting some risk of fire and overcrediting-both typical of conservation projects. Despite those risks, supporting the preservation of existing natural carbon sinks is a critical piece of a diversified carbon offset strategy, and we believe the Katingan Project to be among the best projects driving real impact. That is why Calyx Global notes that Katingan is “among our highest rated REDD / Avoided Deforestation projects.”

The largest reforestation project in the world, Delta Blue seeks to restore 225,000 hectares of land through large-scale mangrove restoration in the Indus Delta in Pakistan.
Read More
The Delta Blue Carbon project seeks to to restore degraded lands through large-scale mangrove reforestation on the Indus Delta in Pakistan. While the area was previously covered in mangroves, which sequester 3-5 times more CO2 per hectare than upland tropical forests, they largely disappeared by the 1980s. The project will ultimately plant mangroves on nearly 225,000 hectares of land and estimates that it will remove over 2.4 million tonnes of CO2e per year. This makes it the largest restoration program in the world. Despite inherent challenges involved in mangrove restoration projects, Delta Blue is also highly regarded, with Renoster stating that its “governance, design, and execution is well orchestrated and scientifically rigorous.”

Collects waste from plants that have captured carbon dioxide, converts the plant waste into bio- oil, and injects that bio-oil into deep wells or caverns where it hardens and will be stored permanently.
Read More
Living plants, whether trees or agricultural crops, capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, after the plants die or the crops are harvested, the plants decompose and re-release that carbon. Charm collects plant waste, applies a heating process called pyrolysis that converts the plant waste into bio-oil, and injects that bio oil into deep wells or caverns where it hardens and will be stored permanently. Charm thereby makes the plants’ temporary removal of carbon dioxide permanent. While its technology is promising, Charm currently charges $600 per metric tonne of CO2e sequestered and is delivering only a small amount of carbon removal per year. CNaught supports companies like Charm to help send a market signal that will help innovative technologies like that developed by Charm can reach scale.

An ocean-focused platform that works with communities around the world to plant and protect coastal ecosystems – mangrove and kelp forests, seagrass, coral reefs, and coastal watersheds.
Read More
As an ocean-focused platform for people and brands to take direct action on climate change, we work with communities around the world to plant and protect ‘blue carbon’ coastal ecosystems – mangrove and kelp forests, seagrass, coral reefs, and coastal watersheds.
Our projects do a lot more than sequester carbon. We measure our impact with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The regeneration and protection of these ecosystems provide critical habitat for countless species, sustainable long-term employment for local communities, and protection for the coast from storm surges and sea level rise.
Our projects support the following UN Sustainable Development Goals: Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life on Land.
Collects landfill gas to generate electricity at a landfill in southeastern China, avoiding the emission of methane and using the methane to generate power and displace coal-fired power in the electric grid.
Read More
This project supports collection of landfill gas and generation of 2.5MW of electricity at a landfill in Fuzhou City in Fujian Province in southeastern China. The landfill received waste from 1995 until 2008, and-like most landfills-throws off methane as some of that waste decomposes. Credits are generated from two pieces of the project: (1) avoiding the emissions of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and (2) using the power generated from the methane (natural gas) to displace dirtier coal-fired power coming from the electric grid. The project clearly required carbon revenues to achieve these two goals and therefore generates high-quality carbon offsets.

As a B Corporation and leader of this emerging economy, we must be the change we seek in the world. That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place matter. That, through our products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all. To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon one another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
We craft our Climate Positive event series carefully to cover all realms of sustainability, from textiles to reforestation. We hold space for meaningful environmental conversations by asking all the right questions of the world’s most influential speakers.
