Carbon neutrality for a more resilient Caribbean
Become Carbon Neutral
We help businesses to become carbon neutral by the following steps:
Estimate your carbon footprint: The first step is to estimate your carbon footprint. We will help you determine your emissions.
Choose a carbon offset project: We offer a range of carbon offset projects to choose from, including reforestation, agricultural practices, and energy efficiency initiatives. Select the project that aligns with your goals and values.
Purchase carbon offsets: Navigating voluntary markets can be challenging, but our priority is to ease this journey for our clients. We specialize in obtaining premium carbon offsets from the top two registries: Gold Standard and Verra.
Verify and retire carbon offsets: We will verify and retire the carbon offsets you purchase on your behalf. This ensures that the carbon offsets are not resold or reused by anyone else, and that the carbon reduction benefits are attributed solely to you.
In addition, we can help you set reduction targets for your business: After determining your carbon footprint, we can assist you in establishing targets to reduce your emissions by implementing straightforward changes.
We obtain high quality offsets from Verra

Why should you be concerned about your Carbon footprint?
Environmental Responsibility: Many companies recognize that they have a responsibility to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the fight against climate change. Offsetting their carbon emissions is one way they can demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility.
Reputation: Customers and stakeholders are becoming increasingly aware of environmental issues, and companies that take action to reduce their carbon footprint can enhance their reputation and improve their brand image.
Economic Incentives: Investing in renewable energy and other sustainable projects can provide long-term economic benefits, such as reducing energy costs, increasing efficiency, and attracting customers who value sustainability.
Climate Resilience: Climate change poses significant risks to many Caribbean countries, including increased frequency and severity of hurricanes, rising sea levels, and coastal erosion. By reducing their carbon footprint, companies can contribute to the global effort to mitigate the effects of climate change and help build climate resilience in the region.
In the case of Barbados, the government has set a goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2030. Companies operating in Barbados may want to offset their carbon emissions to support the country's efforts to achieve this goal and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
Why should hotels and their guests be concerned about their Carbon footprint?
Environmental impact: Travel contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main cause of global warming and climate change. By offsetting their carbon footprint, hotel guests can take responsibility for their environmental impact and help reduce the negative effects of travel on the environment.
Conservation of natural resources: Carbon offsetting programs often support conservation and reforestation projects, which can help preserve natural habitats and protect biodiversity. By offsetting their carbon emissions, hotel guests can contribute to the conservation of natural resources and help protect vulnerable ecosystems.
Sustainable tourism: By offsetting their carbon footprint, hotel guests can support sustainable tourism practices that prioritize environmental responsibility and conservation. This can help promote a more sustainable and responsible approach to travel that benefits both the environment and local communities.
