EcoSecurities, ClimateBiz and Baker & McKenzie LLP publish the findings of their recent ‘Carbon Management and Offsetting Trends’ survey results 2009.
Over three quarters of companies have implemented or have started developing a carbon management strategy
Two thirds of respondents have already offset their carbon emissions or will consider offsetting in the future
Environmental benefits (91%) were highlighted as one of the main motivations for interest in carbon offsets, closely followed by carbon neutrality and marketing (89%)
72% of participants nominated the US as the most desirable geographic region for purchasing offsets; this may reflect the desire for domestic projects as 56% of the respondents came from North America. Africa and South America were also rated as highly desirable locations for emission reduction projects
Respondents prefer renewable energy projects above any other project type with solar scoring 92% and wind 86%
