For small businesses. Enter your data online, we review it, then offset and get your certificate straight away.
Measure and offset 100 percent of your emissions, with a reduction plan and a verification review.
Take responsibility for at least 120 percent of your remaining emissions after reducing them.
Go beyond carbon. Assess your material sustainability issues, build a Strategic Action Plan with independent review, then report quarterly and review your progress every year.
Every certification is reviewed by Ekos, with independent verification where the Ekos Standard requires it. Our biodiversity credits are certified to the Ekos SD standard and validated to the BCA, WEF and IAPB High Level Principles.
Why markets
Solving climate change and the biodiversity crisis takes far more money than public and charitable funding can provide. Private investment has to pay for real outcomes.
That is why Ekos works with market based mechanisms, so your spending funds nature restored and impact measured.
