Professional and innovative carbon offsetting

myclimate is one of the world's leading providers of voluntary carbon offsetting measures. myclimate's carbon offset projects are characterised by their compliance with very strict criteria. myclimate also creates carbon assessments and raises awareness for climate change and climate protection in climate education projects.

myclimate was established as the result of a joint project of students and professors of the ETH Zurich in 2002. In just a few years, myclimate developed from a student project into a professionally managed and internationally active climate-protection organisation. The innovative idea and the huge commitment of those involved continue to characterise myclimate today.

Broadly based and globally interconnected

The strategic management body is the ten-person Foundation Board. The operational management is the responsibility of the office in Zurich with a team of now more than thirty employees. A top-calibre Patronage Committee, including the Noble Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, supports myclimate ideologically.

To implement carbon offset measures as effectively and efficiently as possible, myclimate has also established an international network of project partners and representatives who act on behalf of myclimate in their countries. 

With its offset payments, myclimate develops and supports carbon offset projects around the world and thereby enables hands-on climate protection. The projects achieve their effect by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energies and through energy efficiency measures (energy-saving measures or use of more efficient technologies), in some cases by reducing methane emissions.

myclimate Carbon Management Services creates carbon assessments and carbon reports as well as comprehensive life cycle assessments. Companies are also supported in the development of strategies, the examination of products and the optimisation of existing processes through the use of various tools.

In numerous education projects and tips for everyday life, myclimate's Climate Education shows how CO2 emissions can be avoided or reduced. To this end, myclimate relies on the financial support of private individuals, foundations and companies.

The group of partners and customers of the climate-protection organisation already includes large, medium-sized and small enterprises from all sectors as well as public administration institutions, non-profit organisations, event organisations and a large number of private individuals.
