Project Development

Project based mechanisms for delivery of offsets enable low cost mitigation measures to be included in reduction programmes, lowering the cost of meeting reduction targets and facilitating a transition to lower or zero footprint business practice.

Ensuring quality of projects requires an in-depth knowledge of additionality, baseline monitoring, leakage, environmental and social impact assessment, permanence and sustainable development. High quality offset projects, whether they focus on greenhouse gas emissions, water resources, material resource or biodiversity, will provide a measurable, additional benefit that takes into consideration all projected impacts on the environment.
