Saving more than the environment

We invest in projects that improve living standards in developing countries, while providing global climate benefits.

Our basic principles are quite straightforward:

• Projects must be efficient. Our funds should not be diverted to unnecessary bureaucratic overheads, waste or middlemen.
• Projects must have additional, long-term benefits to the communities that undertake them. These range from increasing incomes and creating jobs, to improving health and protecting local ecosystems.
• Projects should follow the spirit of the Kyoto agreement. Projects must make measurable pollution reductions over and above their normal level, and it is only this additional benefit to the environment that Carbon Clear supports.
