For offsetting to have an impact, it must be done right

Compensate has helped several customers to combat climate change by offering easy access to high-quality carbon projects.

"Compensate’s rigorous and transparent approach aligns with our founding principle to know the causes of things, for the betterment of society." – The London School of Economics and Political Science

"Compensate provides us peace of mind, as we can rely on their integrity and expertise in carbon footprint calculations and as a carbon project portfolio manager. Ensuring that our commitments have a demonstrated climate impact is crucial to us." – Relex

The Compensate Foundation continues its non-profit work to reform the voluntary carbon market.

White paper 2023 “From carbon to nature: What the biodiversity markets can learn from the voluntary carbon market?”

The biodiversity markets serve as a means to direct private sector funding toward actions that preserve and restore biodiversity. Private and public initiatives are paving the way for the rapid development of biodiversity credits, certification schemes, and projects.

The market has the potential to preserve and restore biodiversity, but there are serious risks involved if unregulated markets are implemented badly.

Compensate's approach

Scientific evaluation

Only 10% of screened carbon projects accredited by international standards, such as Gold Standard and Verra, pass our scientific evaluation criteria and can demonstrate a true climate impact.

A portfolio approach

We maximize your climate impact and mitigate risks by managing a dynamic and diverse portfolio of carbon projects with different methods around the globe.

Overcompensation

Our in-built overcompensation mechanism mitigates risks related to carbon projects and uncertainties in carbon footprint calculations, providing a more robust compensation claim compared to standard carbon credits.

Impact beyond climate

We operate exclusively with carbon projects with a net positive impact on the environment, biodiversity, social justice, and human rights. Our projects support all the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
