Develop Your Carbon Strategy
Carbon strategies you can stand by
To reach net zero emissions, we must leverage every decarbonization tool at our disposal. The Voluntary Carbon Market is a crucial resource for helping to avoid and remove current and future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, given the evolving landscape and lack of standardized guidance, navigating the Voluntary Carbon Market can be challenging. 3Degrees can help you understand the dynamics of the Voluntary Carbon Market, update you on the latest guidance to ensure you only procure high quality credits and make credible claims, and develop a carbon credit strategy that meets your climate and business goals.
We can make progress together by designing and implementing a credible carbon strategy.

Why conduct a carbon strategy engagement?
A well-designed carbon credit strategy, tailored to fit your organization’s unique climate objectives, positions you to navigate the complexities of the Voluntary Carbon Market while protecting against financial and reputational risks. A carbon strategy can address your entire emissions profile or select areas. For instance, you could create a carbon strategy solely for your residual scope 3 emissions, or value chain emissions, which could involve supply chain interventions, such as carbon insetting.
Through engaging in a carbon strategy advisory project with 3Degrees, you will be able to:
carbon procurement options and how peers are navigating their carbon strategies effectively
key stakeholders with critical insights into the opportunities and risks of participating in the Voluntary Carbon Market
evolving claims guidance including new voluntary standards and regulatory landscapes in the U.S. and EU, including laws and directives related to carbon claims such as AB-1305, the Empowering Consumers Directive, and the Green Claims Directive
evaluation criteria that reflect your organization’s guiding principles and specific procurement priorities
a strategic carbon credit roadmap, designed to align with your organization’s priorities, minimizing any potential risks
your near-term and longer-term carbon strategy with your climate goals
