WEDNESDAY 9th OCTOBER: SCB Group and New Zealand based carbon offset provider and climate-tech firm CarbonClick are joining forces to offer a new complete end-to-end solution which will improve and streamline airlines’ approach to assessing and offsetting their carbon impact.
The partnership will benefit SCB’s customers, who will now have access to an enterprise-grade tech suite that facilitates voluntary programmes, as well as access to CarbonClick’s self-serve platform, including project portfolio selection, real-time reporting and analytics.
Promising to offer a ‘one-stop solution’ for aviation companies to transform climate objectives into impactful action, the new partnership will allow both companies to offer a diverse and high integrity portfolio of carbon credits through industry leading technology, such as SAF (sustainable aviation fuel), for both compliance carbon targets of aviation businesses, and voluntary credits for passengers, employees and corporates.
The credits that will be available include those that invest in nature and community-based solutions, CORSIA eligible carbon offsets, SAF certificates and Energy Attribute Certificates, including I-RECs. For CarbonClick’s customers, this means they can support the growth of the sustainable aviation fuel market through the expanded credit offering, and also access both voluntary and compliance requirements for the first time. Via state-of-the art technology, customers will have the opportunity to incorporate carbon offsetting into more touchpoints than ever before, including passenger and employee offsetting, operational emissions and corporate travel.
Kevin McGeeney, CEO of SCB Group said:
“Since 2007, SCB’s Mission has been to promote a low carbon future. Decarbonisation makes business and society stronger. Where decarbonisation is proving intractable, progress should be made through climate action and offsetting.
Our values guide us to a relentless pursuit of our clients’ objectives. The application of technology in partnership with CarbonClick makes the cost of adopting a low-carbon pathway more affordable and efficient.
SCB shares CarbonClick’s enterprising nature putting connection and expertise at the heart of our actions, where we continue to push the boundaries for a low carbon future.”
Dave Rouse, CEO of CarbonClick said:
“Our goal is to work towards a cooler planet, and we believe that by diversifying our offering and now including advanced credits like SAF, we provide another step for our customers to decrease their emissions and work towards a more sustainable industry. The new partnership will allow our aviation customers to accelerate their journey to net-zero while being assured of a smooth and simple process and transparent, credible results.
Aviation is one of the toughest sectors to achieve net-zero, which comes under the most scrutiny around transparency and greenwashing. High integrity, and transparency of carbon solutions are becoming critical to the aviation industry. This new partnership will accelerate the travel sector to net-zero and prove how incredibly impactful offsetting can be when done meaningfully and complimentary to other decarbonization strategies.
We are truly aligned to SCB’s credibility & transparency values. Their longstanding market experience and first-hand experience gained from financing projects is invaluable to CarbonClick and helps further strengthen our core values of supporting projects that make a real impact to people and planet. We’re looking forward to working with them and with our customers with a shared vision of impactful climate action.”
To strengthen the trust in the carbon credit market, the combined selection process for carbon credits served through the solution will be robust, merging the strengths of both companies and passing CarbonClick’s 7-Point Impact Check, giving customers a peace of mind that only the highest quality credits are offered to them.
As well as diversifying project portfolios, the partnership will offer an improved process of carbon credit portfolio development, to offer the best and most bespoke offers for potential customers. It will also aim to improve trust by ensuring that customers have a traceable project portfolio that transparently contributes towards reducing their carbon impact.
CarbonClick, which was established in 2019, already partners with a host of industry leading aviation organisations including Etihad Airways, Amadeus, Changi Airport Group, and Manchester Airports Group. With more than 17 years of experience provisioning providing bespoke low carbon solutions across multiple industries, SCB serves Saxon Air, Dublin Airport Authority, Selectra and Luxembourg Airport. While aviation customers will benefit, CarbonClick and SCB both serve customers in other sectors that will benefit from this partnership in the future.
