SOUTH BURLINGTON , VT--Carbon offset provide NativeEnergy has been ranked #1 in a new white paper published by three independent, sustainability focused organizations: Bainbridge Graduate Institute, Carbon Concierge, and Social Venture Network.
As the top scoring retail offset provider, receiving a 93% overall rating, NativeEnergy is the 'most recommended" of the 14 providers evaluated.
The group's comprehensive process for evaluating carbon offset providers resulted in the development of the Carbon Offset Provider Evaluation Matrix (COPEM), which includes eight essential criteria for evaluating carbon offset providers. The report, which is available online, offers guidance to help businesses, institutions, communities, and individuals choose the offset provider that best meets their needs for high quality carbon offsets.
Carbon offset providers were evaluated based on their performance in the following areas: Business and Project Transparency, Offset Quality, Project Location and Offset Traceability, Industry Leadership, Business Model and Program Services Ratio, 3rd Party Evaluation, Education, and Social Benefit.
With a wide variety of standards and qualifications, understanding what determines a legitimate carbon offset can be confusing. This report focuses on critical issues that help purchasers ensure that their offset provider is legitimate and that their offsets purchase actually helps reduce global warming emissions that would not be reduced in the absence of the offsets market.
