With climate disaster looming on the horizon, it has become ever more important for businesses to trend towards net zero. But realistically, achieving zero emissions by procedural changes in operations can be beyond reach, and a more significant impact can be made by funding projects that result in negative carbon contributions. DGB Group develops, and provides a marketplace for, carbon negative and biodiversity projects, so businesses can purchase carbon offsets.
Carbon offsetting is commonly regarded as a vital tool to slow climate change. The idea is that companies purchase parts in schemes to lower carbon in the atmosphere by an amount equivalent to their emissions, with the purchases being similar to buying stock. DGB Group buys the carbon offsets from projects they are involved in, and then sells them on to companies who wish to lower their carbon footprint. Additionally, the company provides free carbon footprint calculations so that clients can know how much credit they should purchase to achieve net zero.
Recently, the green trading industry has faced scrutiny, as opacity means it is hard to be sure that purchasing climate credits directly funds action on-the-ground. Despite this, interest in the industry is only projected to go up, and it can be expected that DGB Group will see growth as governments bring in further emissions regulations for businesses.
