Easy to understand. Practical. Action-guiding.

Climate action within organisations is becoming increasingly complex. Alongside avoiding and reducing emissions, questions arise about the role of offsetting, the quality of certificates and the selection of suitable climate action projects. Our initial consultation on climate action and CO₂ offsetting helps organisations further develop their climate action strategies on a sound basis, assess risks and make informed decisions.

Product description

The requirements for corporate climate action are constantly evolving. At the same time, the number of different standards, labels, providers and offsetting approaches continues to grow. atmosfair supports companies in developing and implementing effective climate action strategies. The focus is on avoiding and reducing emissions, as well as assessing offsetting and other climate protection instruments for addressing unavoidable residual emissions.

As an introduction, atmosfair offers the “Climate Basics” workshop, which provides fundamental knowledge about climate change, emissions reduction, sustainable corporate strategies and effective climate action.
The “Offsetting” workshop gives companies an overview of the various offsetting mechanisms, quality standards, integrity frameworks and current developments in the voluntary carbon market.
In addition, atmosfair works with companies to analyse existing climate protection strategies, assess available options and support them in selecting suitable projects and certificates.

Benefits for your business

  • Navigating a complex market: The number of certificates, standards and providers is constantly growing. Our consultancy services help businesses make sense of relevant developments and make well-informed decisions.
  • Reducing reputational risks: Selecting unsuitable or controversial projects can undermine the credibility of climate action measures. An independent assessment helps identify risks at an early stage.
  • Developing clear decision-making criteria: Companies receive transparent criteria for evaluating projects, certificates and providers. This facilitates future decisions and promotes internal transparency.
  • Strategically embedding climate action: Our consultancy supports companies in clearly defining the roles of emissions avoidance, reduction and offsetting within their climate strategies.
  • Saving time and resources: Having experienced experts analyse complex specialist topics reduces the need for independent research and provides a sound basis for decision-making.
