As the first company to bring voluntary carbon offsetting services widely available in Finland in 2008, we continue to pioneer the field in our local Nordic region. Nordic Offset Oy offers environmental management consulting, commercial emission reductions and permanent emission removals (sink increases) from voluntary emissions trading markets.

Our range of services and calculation tools enables businesses, corporations and communities to recognize their impact on the climate, calculate and reduce their carbon footprint and voluntarily offset carbon emissions. At the same time, our customers can become aware of the size of their carbon footprint and learn how to reduce unnecessary consumption. We help businesses in turning environmental management into competitive advantage.

Nordic Offset helps clients to define and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions from business activities, production and travel. Carbon footprint calculations are based on industry standards such as the GHG Protocol guidance, based on long term development work by World Resource Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and ISO standards on LCA (life cycle assessment), namely, 14040, 14044, 14067, 14069 and product carbon footprint related standard PAS2050.

Carbon emission offsetting is an established mechanism to generate voluntary funds for sustainable development. It is based on the principles of the Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol set under the United Nations.

Offsetting is done by purchasing emission reductions, and/ or permanent emission removals (carbon sink increases) in relation to emissions emitted ”tonne for tonne”, from carbon emission reducing sustainable energy projects, or from projects that increase permanent carbon sinks. These projects are typically implemented in developing countries which usually have no regulated emission reduction targets. In accordance with premium standards, Verified Emission Reductions (VER) come from projects of cleaner technology that replace polluting production or projects that increase carbon sinks/ storage. The free market determines the emission reduction price rate, which is conveyed into tradable credits.

By reducing unnecessary consumption and by offsetting unavoidable emissions, carbon footprint management efforts can effectively slow down the progression of climate change, and companies can take steps towards carbon neutrality. At the same time, you will accelerate sustainable development, promoting the development of projects in places where they would otherwise not come to pass.

We primarily offer Gold Standard (GS) certified emission reduction credits from the voluntary carbon markets. In addition we are currently developing standardized methodologies for emission reductions and permanent carbon credit removals for projects in Finland.

We offer tailored calculation and offsetting services for businesses including offsetting for air travel and vehicles, offsetting for products and services and offsetting for the workplace and events.
