A Profitable Strategy for Corporate Growth
Consumers are increasingly asking for and willing to pay a premium for sustainable brands. Offsetting your company’ emissions is an ideal way to demonstrate both corporate social responsibility and an appealing brand image.
The Problem with Offsets
Over $200 million per year is spent on voluntary carbon offsets, yet much of this money is wasted. The voluntary carbon offset market has faced challenges around ensuring environmental impact. For example, by protecting one forest, a forestry offset might cause the forest next door to be chopped down instead. More fundamentally, even the best offset projects do not address the underlying incentives perpetuating the fossil fuel-based market economy. CLA was founded to provide a solution.
Why We’re Different
Instead of selling offsets, we purchase carbon allowances and hold them indefinitely. Every large power plant from Maine to New York is required to purchase one allowance from the state governments for every ton of CO2 they emit. The number of these allowances is capped. When you purchase our carbon allowances, we buy the same allowances these dirty power plants need to operate, reducing the number of available allowances and directly limiting emissions.
