What makes a credible offset?

There are several characteristics accepted worldwide that describe offsets of sound environmental integrity – additionality, verification, permanence, no leakage and counted once.

All PCT offsets are in compliance with the emission offsets regulation (EOR) established under the British Columbia Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act, ensuring real climate change solutions through high quality offsets built on recognized international standards, meaning:

All offset project plans must be validated by an independent ISO14065-accredited body.

Once the project is complete, offset project reports are verified by a second independent body to ensure reductions occurred as described in the project plan.
