CIP 2026 Impact Report
Delivering tonnes of impact year after year
Driven by ambition and integrityWe helped build this market and we’ve seen what it can achieve
We are not a short-term, transactional broker. We build long-term partnerships with both project partners and corporate clients. We have worked with many of our partners for more than a decade – and some for more than two – helping us create stronger projects, deeper relationships and deliver impact at scale.
And we have a clear vision for what comes next.
We believe the carbon market can follow a similar path to renewable energy – evolving, standardizing and maturing until it reaches the scale needed to unlock its full potential. A world where companies take full responsibility for their emissions on the journey to net zero, and where climate finance flows into reducing emissions, restoring nature and supporting a thriving future for all life on earth.
FAQs
- Why should I choose Climate Impact Partners?
We combine nearly three decades of market experience with deep technical expertise, project development capability and close relationships with project partners. That means we can help you navigate a complex market, manage risk and access high-quality climate solutions with confidence.
- How is Climate Impact Partners different from a carbon credit broker?
We do more than source carbon credits. We develop projects, work directly with project partners and support corporate clients from strategy and selection through to delivery, claims and communication. This gives us deeper insight into project quality, risk and what works on the ground.
- How do you assess the quality of the carbon credits you offer?
Every project must meet recognized standards and pass our own rigorous selection criteria. Our experts assess areas including methodology, additionality, permanence, leakage, delivery risk and wider impacts for nature and communities. We continue to monitor projects and market developments over time.
- Can you help us decide which climate solutions are right for our business?
Yes. We start with your climate goals, emissions profile, priorities and risk appetite, then help you build an approach that may include carbon reductions, removals, EACs, SAFc and other climate solutions. Our role is to help you make informed choices rather than simply sell you a product.
- Do you develop your own carbon projects?
Yes. Our project development capability gives us first-hand experience of what it takes to design, finance and deliver high-quality projects. It also helps us assess potential project partners and gives our clients access to selected projects and supply that may not be widely available elsewhere.
- How do you help companies manage risk in the carbon market?
We assess quality and delivery risk at project level while also helping clients navigate changing standards, guidance, claims requirements and market conditions. We can also help clients diversify portfolios, plan future supply and make decisions that remain credible as the market evolves.
