We are Carbon Neutral Plus certified
QCIC became 100% carbon neutral in 2019 and we have retained that status ever since. As of June 2021, we have officially been certified as Carbon Neutral Plus and have offset 103 Tonnes of carbon.
This is just one small part of our ongoing commitment to combating climate change.
Working closely with Carbon Footprint, each year we calculate and independently verify the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by QCIC. Whilst our aim is to continually reduce our emissions, we currently offset our calculated carbon emissions and have chosen Verified Carbon Standards (VCS) certified projects to support this effort.
We carefully select our offset programs to ensure that they align not only with our carbon reduction and offsetting initiatives but also with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This enables us to holistically take responsibility for the emissions that we make as a business, as well as contribute to regions and initiatives that require assistance.
The three new Carbon Offset Programmes we currently support are:
Wastewater Treatment and Biogas Project in Thailand:
This Thai starch plant captures methane, using anaerobic wastewater treatment facilities and converts the gas into energy, replacing the need for fossil fuel consumption. The project assists with the prevention of methane from harming the climate and avoids thousands of tonnes of fossil fuel being burnt per year.
RMDLT Portel-Para Redd Project in Brazil
Helping to reduce deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, Brazil.
