Buy Carbon Credits

• Buying carbon credits demonstrates credible climate leadership and helps your company take responsibility for its environmental impact while working toward long-term emissions reductions.

• Even with aggressive internal strategies and sustainable businesses practices—like switching to renewable energy, improving efficiency, and rethinking supply chains—most businesses will still generate some unavoidable emissions. Carbon credits provide a way to address those emissions immediately by funding projects that measurably reduce or remove greenhouse gases elsewhere.

• Purchasing carbon credits strengthens your ESG performance and supports alignment with global net zero frameworks. It also helps build trust with customers, investors, employees, and regulators who increasingly expect transparent action on climate commitments.

• Many carbon projects deliver social and economic co-benefits—such as creating jobs, improving health outcomes, or protecting biodiversity—which means your investment contributes to broader sustainable development.

• We have more than 25 years of experience designing and delivering high-quality carbon credit portfolios for some of the world’s leading companies, including Microsoft, Deloitte, and LEGO.
• We work across industries including technology, aviation, consumer goods, finance, manufacturing, energy, and entertainment. Companies with ambitious sustainability commitments trust us to deliver high-integrity credits.
• We partner with only the highest quality carbon credit projects in locations that matter to your company. We have been recognized 13 times as the best carbon offset provider, and we are a Certified B Corporation, meeting high standards of social and environmental responsibility.

Yes, we provide support for businesses looking to buy carbon credits for the first time. We start by getting an understanding of your business, your environmental footprint, and your sustainability goals.

We provide education and guidance, explaining how carbon credits work, what they represent, and how they fit into a broader sustainability strategy. Our team explains different carbon offset solutions, helps you select the right carbon projects, and manages technical details such as retirement in public registries.

We also help with navigating the complexity of climate claims and the various standards and frameworks for net zero and carbon neutrality. After your purchase, we provide you with details of your credits and the projects they support so you can report your impact.

This ensures you can purchase with confidence, even without prior experience. 

Our projects are certified under globally recognized carbon project standards that are trusted across the voluntary carbon markets, including Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Gold Standard, American Carbon Registry (ACR), Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) standards under Verra, Plan Vivo, and the UK Woodland Carbon Code. We are also licensed to supply Green-e Energy certified Renewable Energy Certificates.

These certifications ensure consistency, credibility, and alignment with the highest benchmarks for environmental and social integrity.

We conduct our own 10-stage Quality Assurance process before including any project in our portfolio. This includes due diligence on the project’s technical details as well as issues that can impact quality overall, including social impacts and reputational risks.

Independent auditors confirm the carbon reductions or removals, and we continue to monitor performance over time. This rigorous approach ensures that every project you support delivers the outcomes it promises.

When you buy carbon credits from Climate Impact Partners, you support a diverse portfolio of environmental projects around the world. Each project is designed to deliver emissions reductions while creating long-lasting benefits for people and ecosystems.

Our projects include:

• Forestry and land use: Projects such as reforestation, afforestation, forest conservation, and grassland conservation that absorb and store carbon in trees, soil, and ecosystems.

• Blue carbon: Initiatives that restore and protect coastal and marine ecosystems like mangroves, seagrasses, and wetlands, which are powerful natural carbon sinks.

• Renewable energy: Replacing fossil fuel–based power with clean sources such as wind, solar, hydro, or geothermal to avoid new emissions.

• Energy efficiency: Reducing energy use and emissions by improving technologies -for example, efficient cookstoves, clean water, lighting, or industrial upgrades.

• Methane capture: Collecting methane from landfills, farms, or wastewater systems and using it as fuel instead of allowing it to escape into the atmosphere.

• Carbon removal technologies: Engineered solutions like direct air capture or biochar that extract carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and store it securely.

Yes, many of our projects provide significant co-benefits beyond carbon reductions. These include protecting wildlife habitats, improving public health through cleaner energy solutions, and creating jobs and training opportunities for local communities. This means your investment delivers both climate and social value.

Our projects also align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide governments, businesses, and communities with a shared roadmap for addressing the world’s most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Co-benefits multiply the value of carbon credits by addressing interconnected global challenges alongside climate change. For businesses, they provide an opportunity to demonstrate broader impact—aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, strengthening ESG performance, and deepening stakeholder trust.

Investing in credits with co-benefits allows companies not only to offset emissions but also to show leadership in creating tangible, positive change for people and the planet.

Our clients have access to the Client Dashboard, where we provide full transparency into every project we offer, including documentation of results, independent verification reports, and clear evidence of impact. This ensures you can demonstrate—with confidence—that your credits deliver meaningful and lasting climate benefits. 

Yes. Credits are always retired in your organization’s name within a public registry. This provides transparency and ensures you can demonstrate credible, verifiable climate action to stakeholders.

We provide both options. Some organizations prefer one-off purchases to cover immediate needs, while others establish long-term agreements to secure supply and price certainty.

You can buy carbon credits in any volume from Climate Impact Partners, whether you want to cover a specific initiative or event, such as a product launch, or secure a multi-year supply to achieve your carbon neutrality or net zero strategy.

The price varies depending on project type, certification, co-benefits, and market demand. For example, pricing for removal projects such as reforestation is typically higher than avoidance projects such as renewable energy.

In many jurisdictions, credits can be treated as a business expense. In some cases, purchases through nonprofit partners may also qualify as charitable donations. The specifics depend on your local tax laws, so we recommend consulting your advisors.

Carbon credits do not have a set shelf life. They remain active and tradable until you choose to use them.

Once your company retires credits in its name through an official registry, they are permanently removed from circulation and can never be resold or claimed by another party. This retirement process creates a transparent, verifiable record of the emissions you have offset, ensuring credibility in your climate reporting.

Because credits stay valid until retirement, you have the flexibility to purchase them when it aligns with your financial or sustainability strategy and then retire them at the right time to meet targets or demonstrate progress. Retirement guarantees that the environmental benefit is locked in and recognized exclusively by your company.

You can buy carbon offsets today. Visit our Carbon Credits Store to purchase credits from a portfolio that align with your priorities.

For small businesses, we offer a carbon footprint calculator that will measure and offset your carbon footprint in one convenient place.

If you are a large organization, have a complex footprint, or know that you need to offset more than 100 tonnes, please contact us so we can offer you a more bespoke solution.

Once your project selection and volume are confirmed, credits can usually be issued and retired within three working days, allowing you to act quickly and communicate results without delay.
