The Gold Standard - Carbon Advisory & Asset Management - www.cdmgoldstandard.org

Carbon Advisory and Asset Management Services

Carbon asset management services are provided by full-service companies that advise and assist clients in managing their carbon emissions through a combination of emission reductions and offsets. They are usually active in all segments of the carbon market. They develop and sometimes finance carbon offset projects for both compliance and voluntary markets and hold portfolios of carbon assets generated by these projects or sourced elsewhere, in order to be able to supply carbon credits to their clients.  Some have been formed as subsidiaries of firms providing other related services, while others have been formed specifically to take advantage of the growing carbon market.

Firms that provide carbon offset advisory services for the carbon market are usually consultancy firms that provide information about climate change and the importance of reducing emissions, offer advice and tools on how to calculate and reduce or offset a carbon footprint, and help clients to develop carbon management strategies and source carbon credits in line with these strategies.

Highlighted listings include full profiles and logos to indicate firms and organizations with a strong formal commitment to the Gold Standard, such as a significant core contribution or sponsorship agreement, a majority portfolio pledge or a service partnership agreement. 

Simple listings include weblinks and email contacts for firms and organizations that have made simple portfolio pledges or otherwise demonstrated their commitment to the Gold Standard in more modest ways.
