Sweep Publishes a New Methodology That Revolutionises the Use of Carbon Credits and Helps Companies Prioritise Emission Reduction Action

In the wake of COP27 and offsetting practice scrutiny, Sweep ushers in a contribution method to turn carbon credits into an asset for corporate climate programmes.

Business Wire

Sweep, the leading carbon management and reduction platform, has taken aim at traditional carbon offsetting practices as deeply ineffective and outlined the merits of a contribution approach in a white paper launched today.

This new methodology limits financial and reputational risks and adds moral weight to corporate climate programmes. This approach involves three complementary steps:

  1. Setting an internal carbon tax, as an effective solution to signal emission reduction at the source
  2. Use the funds generated by the tax to finance the contribution strategy, including financing direct and indirect reduction initiatives and purchasing carbon credits
  3. Building a meaningful portfolio of certified carbon projects that aligns with the business strategy and addresses local social and ecological needs

With this approach, an organisation can use the collected funds to invest in climate action. Sweep’s methodology effectively addresses the historical distrust of offsetting practices and how they have shifted the focus away from cutting emissions.

Renaud Bettin, VP of Climate Action at Sweep said: “It’s time to break free from contingent carbon neutrality claims and ensure the purchase of carbon credits is driven by impact and altruism. That’s how corporate and financial organisations can meaningfully contribute to building a just and inclusive low-carbon future.”

In the wake of COP27’s historic agreement on loss and damage and the urgency to achieve national net-zero targets, Sweep is calling for the rise of a generation of contributing companies, taking credible and transparent action to tackle the climate crisis.
