RESORSUS provides the most detailed GHG mitigation plans in the voluntary carbon credits market, especially with our OpenSeas, OpenSkies, GreenCommodities, and GreenSteel programs. We not only mitigate with VCCs but also advise on climate policies, meaning our clients have the opportunity to mitigate their carbon footprint, raise internal awareness of climate action, and develop their plans to achieve net zero by 2050 at the same time.

​

We prepare our plans and guidelines based on the simple principles of Oxford University's paper, "Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting." Essential points of this approach are:

 

 1. Cut emissions. Use high quality VCCs, and regularly revise GHG mitigation strategy as the best practice evolves. Prioritize reducing your own emissions. Minimize the need for mitigation with external resources in the first place. Use VCCs that are verifiable and correctly accounted for and have a low risk of non-additionality, reversal, and creating negative unintended consequences for people and the environment. Maintain transparency - Disclose current emissions, accounting practices, targets to reach net zero, and the type of VCCs you employ.

 

 2. Shift to carbon removal reductions. Users of VCCs should increase the portion of their VCCs that come from carbon removals, rather than from emission reductions, ultimately reaching 100% carbon removals by midcentury to ensure compatibility with the Paris Agreement goals.

​

 3. Shift to long-lived storage. It is critical that investment in scaling and improving the technologies that enable long-lived storage begins now. Creating demand for long-lived VCCs today sends a signal to the market to grow the supply of such VCCs.

​

 4. Support the development of net zero aligned emission mitigation policies.

How to Get Started

Before initiating any carbon mitigation plans, organizations must reduce their carbon footprint by making improvements to their processes. "REDUCE!" is our first and most crucial suggestion to our clients.

​

​Even after every effort has been made towards carbon footprint reduction, some emissions may still remain. To balance the remaining carbon footprint, the RESORSUS team is ready to assist. We start our work by conducting a carbon footprint analysis. The calculated amount of carbon credits is then submitted to clients, and the credits are retired.

 

A report is presented to the client, and a mitigation summary is published on their page on the ResorsusGreen portal.

What RESORSUS Provides During a Mitigation Plan

RESORSUS provides clients with strong guidance to engage in voluntary carbon markets on their journeys towards net zero.

​

VCCs are provided from high-quality projects all around the world, which can be strong statements of the organization's position on the climate.

​

Process-Wide Transparency

RESORSUS offers a unique feature that enables organizations and stakeholders to track their progress on a dedicated webpage on the ResorsusGreen portal. When onboarded with a client, the RESORSUS team does not limit themselves to matters of mitigation with VCCs but also advises clients on improving their sustainability policies within the expertise of RESORSUS.
