Climate action is a global business imperative.

 
  • Just getting started? Cool Effect can provide education and advice on where to begin. Start by insisting that your business be powered by renewable energy. Even if it is not available in your area, you rent space and don’t control the source or your business is remove, simply requesting renewable energy increases demand which in turn will rabidly increase the rate of adoption.
  • Account for your yearly travel: Emissions are growing at a rapid pace as our society increasignly moves around. There are a number of decarbonization strategies in place, but they will take years to reach their full potential. In the meantime, a high quality carbon credit can provide funding directly to climate mitigation. We can help you easily calculate and offset the footprint of your corporate travel.
  • Don’t get left behind: Whether your business has a detailed record of your carbon accounting or you are just starting with the calculation of scopes 1 and 2, consider how you can reduce your emissions first and offset what is unavoidable. The supply of high-quality carbon projects is limited and pricing is complicated in the voluntary carbon market – so if you’re considering taking climate action, don’t wait.

Unlike other providers, we add another layer of scrutiny to project documentation and, in many cases, personally visit projects on-site to verify carbon emission reductions and sustainable development claims. Because we are a nonprofit, our fee structure is transparent to both buyer and seller.

Our range of programs is stable, sound, and allows companies and employees to make a difference. With total transparency, we offer companies many ways to take action and see results, whether they’re going completely carbon neutral, offsetting business and conference travel, calculating carbon footprints, or simply educating team members. Our experience has helped brands of all sizes take action against climate change.

We Let You See Everything

We share both the benefits and challenges of each project as well as the pertinent scientific documentation approved and accepted by international standards such as the Gold Standard, the Verified Carbon Standard, Plan Vivo, and the Climate Action Reserve. We are clear about our fees: we add 9.87% to the cost per tonne negotiated with the project.

A Nonprofit Without Bias

Cool Effect is a unique nonprofit that works with businesses and organizations of all sizes. We believe that every tonne counts, and that’s why we work hand-in-hand with companies to figure out the best projects and donations to fit their budgets and goals.

We Carefully Analyze Every Project

Our range of global projects is carefully selected, meticulously analyzed, and scientifically verified by a United Nations Designated Operational Entity or other qualified verifier to reduce carbon emissions. All of our projects must meet the toughest requirements of the world’s major carbon standards before we will consider it for our platform. We also conduct on-site visits to ensure the best business practices.
