Customer Case Studies
The European Policies Research Centre offset the carbon impact of its staff’s 2007 air travel. Dr Sara Davies, a Senior Research Fellow at EPRC, selected Carbon Passport as the offset provider for a number of reasons:
v Attracted by Certified Emission Reductions that Carbon Passport offers after looking at other projects/suppliers whose offsets did not offer the same degree of assurance;
v Carbon Passport’s commitment to ensure that at least 80% of price of the offsets goes to carbon reduction projects;
v Carbon Passport’s user friendly procedures – easy to use flight calculator and flexible invoicing system;
v Although a new company, Carbon Passport’s track record in providing carbon offsets to businesses gave confidence that it is a reputable business.
Alive Network is the UK's premier live music agency and the largest online entertainment booking service in the world. Alive Network offsets the carbon emissions created by its business on a quarterly basis, offsets all emissions associated with the travel of its artists to events and recharges the cost of the travel associated offsets to the artists. This is a significant commitment that Alive Network is making but feel it is a worthwhile effort as the leading company in its sector. Alive Network selected Carbon Passport based on its reputation, the quality of its offset project and its easy to use on-line carbon calculators which reduce the administrative burden.
Redpoint Energy is a specialist energy consultancy, advising clients on investments, strategy and regulation across Europe’s liberalised power, gas and carbon markets.
Very aware of the emissions that result from its activities, Redpoint monitors its activities and identifies areas where reductions can be made. Where it is unable to eliminate emissions Redpoint purchases carbon offsets from Carbon Passport. Redpoint selected CERs for its offsetting strategy because it wanted to be sure that the offsets were of a high quality. Redpoint told Carbon Passport that “whilst we found other products that appeared attractive, it was important to us that we bought a product that met the draft Defra guidelines”.
