Offsetting to combat global poverty
We are working to finance offset projects that combat global poverty
Practical Action
Our sustainability projects are developed in partnership with development organisations and charities including the Development Bank of the Philippines and Practical Action. They are accredited to Clean Development Mechanism or Gold Standard.

We develop a range of projects that save GHG emissions and yield high sustainable development benefits such as improving the health or standard of living of people in the developing world. These are generally small scale projects that use renewable energy to supply the electricity or heat needs of poor communities. Examples include mini-hydro electric, efficient cook stove and biogas projects.

These projects are accredited to Clean Development Mechanism or Gold Standard.

The funds raised from the sale of the offsets created by these projects are used to fund the activities themselves or similar projects. Typically, 85% to 90% of money raised from the sale of offsets created by these projects is invested in the projects themselves.
