ClimatePartner signs joint letter on BVCM by Carbon Market Watch 

Financing climate projects needs to be an integral part of a company’s holistic climate action strategy. That is why we at ClimatePartner want to actively contribute to the continuous improvement of quality and transparency standards in the voluntary carbon market.  Together with WWF, Gold Standard and other market players, we have signed the joint letter by Carbon Market Watch to strengthen the various approaches for Beyond Value Chain Mitigation (BVCM).  

While the focus has been on achieving carbon neutrality in the past years, market players agree that alternatives to this approach are now needed. At ClimatePartner, we have moved away from the carbon neutrality claim in 2023 and are now offering our clients different ways to contribute to climate action that work independently of traditional offsetting models.  

The contribution approach now enables companies to make a contribution to the overall reduction of emissions at a global level that goes beyond the carbon footprint of their own value chain. Different financing approaches are defined depending on the strategic objectives of a company.
