In parallel to reducing your carbon emissions, you can make a significant added contribution to sustainable development and climate mitigation using the best-in-class offsetting in partnership with The Gold Standard.
Climate Projects for Golf
Credibly offset your unavoidable carbon emissions through hand-picked projects from The Gold Standard's Climate + Portfolio. All projects are accredited for their proven impacts on carbon reduction, deliver on important global climate justice principles, and are measured against multiple other social and environmental benefits.
Guidance is also provided on how global offsetting can work well alongside local and regional ecosystem restoration and other sustainability projects and legacies closer to you.
Included in all of these projects is an “onset”, so by using these there is an additional benefit of contributing to the overall advocacy, research, program development, education and impacts measurement undertaken for sustainability in and through golf.
Golf is a high-profile and influential sport, so talk about your climate leadership in a credible, authentic and inspiring way.
Everyone who is part of Driving Net Zero can expect to receive a package of communications support, including:
