Calculate and offset the carbon footprint of your holiday events with our Event Emissions Calculator

The Climate Vault approach backs your promises

Climate progress requires action right now, and your business does too. Our approach means you achieve immediate and verifiable CO2 reduction, resulting in ultimate carbon removal.

Measure

Don’t know what your starting point is for taking on carbon? We’ve got you covered with measurement capabilities to assess whatever aspects of your carbon you want to reduce. Knowing precisely what your impact is today sets you up to make the most meaningful progress.

Reduce

Need quantifiable carbon reductions to satisfy your stakeholders? On your behalf, Climate Vault purchases emission allowances from government-regulated carbon compliance markets. These allowances, already limited by cap-and-trade programs, remain unused, further reducing the emissions in regulated industries in a trackable, auditable way.

Remove

Carbon reductions are immediate, but not enough. Climate Vault identifies the most promising carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects in the world today. These projects will ultimately remove your carbon footprint – for good.
