Contribution of climate protection projects beyond climate protection

When compiling our offsetting portfolio, we aim for geographical and methodological diversification. Since it is irrelevant to the climate where emissions are emitted, avoided or removed, we mainly support offsetting projects in developing and emerging countries. These countries are dis­pro­por­tion­ately affected by the impact of climate change despite only minimally contributing to its causes.

High-quality offsetting projects also have a positive impact on the local population and ecosystems in developing countries. In this way, they also contribute to the sustainable de­vel­op­ment of these regions and, as a result, to the achieve­ment of the United Nations Sus­tain­able De­vel­op­ment Goals (UN SDGs).

We also collaborate with myclimate and Hochstamm Suisse to plant and manage standard trees in Switzer­land. Apart from offsetting, this project serves to protect the local climate and biodiversity.
