Regarding the Best Sustainable Investment category, a spokesperson from

the International GreenAwardsTM, said ‘Traditional investments are not always

sustainable, thus risk models need to be realigned against a new ethical code

of conduct and transparency. This category sets out to recognise organisations

that offer investment with sustainability values incorporated.

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) and Environmental, Social and Corporate

Governance (ESG) are not new disciplines. However, the popularity of the

sustainable investment sector is slow on the uptake, illustrated by the fact that

only a fraction of the money that is invested in traditional investments is being

invested in SRI and ESG funds.

This award will recognise leading financial services industry thinking that has

gone beyond traditional investment to make a real difference to shareholder

value – offering sustainable and financial returns.’

The focus now should be to create more sustainableinvestments and integrate these into mainstream investing.

WHAT ARE CARBON CREDITS

What are Carbon Credits?


COMPANY PROFILE


What are Carbon Credits?A Carbon Credit is a generic term for any tradable certificate or permit representing a reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Once a Carbon Credit is issued and accredited it has a value (market price) and can be traded the same asother commodities.

There are 2 main markets within the

Carbon Credit industry:

The Compliance Market is reserved

for Institutional Trade.

Compliance Market

EUA – European Union Allowances

CER - Certified Emission Reduction

Secondary/Verified Market

VER - Verified Emission Reduction

The importance of VCS -

Verified Carbon Standard

VCS was launched in 2007 by The World

Economic Forum, The International Emissions

Trading Association, The Climate Group and

board members from The World Business

Council for Sustainable Development.

The VCS programme provides a global

standard for approval of credible

verified offsets. VCS credits must be:

• Real

Have happened

• Additional

Beyond business-as-usual activities

• Measurable

Measured fixed amount

• Permanent

Not only temporarily displacing emissions

• Independently Verified & Unique

Not used more than once to offset emissions

COMPANY PROFILE


Supply & DemandThe process undertaken in order to be issued and verified with VCS credits can be complicated and lengthy. The supply and demand differential enhances the argument that VCS prices should continue to rise and can be discussed in more detailwith an AGT representative.

COMPANY PROFILE

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The evolution Corporate Social Responsibility

An increasing number of blue chip companies, global organisations and SMEs

have started to make changes to the way they operate to reduce carbon emissions.

This shift is often voluntary, with companies understanding the crucial role they play

within the global effort to tackle climate change. These changes, including

purchasing VCS credits, means not only are they on the road to becoming carbon

neutral, but also preparing for what most feel will be the inevitable legislation

to offset the majority of carbon emissions. Pre-compliance is a major factor

currently driving demand.

In 2010 HSBC was responsible for

1,017,000 tonnes of CO2 in total.

HSBC’s remaining 897,000 tonnes

of CO2 have been offset by

purchasing VER’s.

In 2010 HSBC bought VER’s from

renewable wind projects and small

scale hydro projects located in

China and India. Renewable wind

projects, small scale hydro projects.

All of the projects were, registered by

Voluntary Carbon Standard, registered

in HSBC’s VCS registry account.

Their commitment to managing our

carbon footprint focuses primarily

on minimizing the direct impact

of our operations.

In addition they offset the emissions

remaining through the purchase of

carbon credits.

The carbon credits they purchase are,

certified to Voluntary Carbon Standard,

which shows the projects genuinely

help to reduce CO2 emissions and

are both auditable and traceable.

In 2010, they purchased 1,191,956

carbon credits.

In a move to further integrate and

embed sustainability into its core

business, GSK announced a new

environmental strategy, including

the objective that the company’s

operations become carbon

neutral by 2050.

WHO’S DEALING IN VCS VERS

Who’s dealing in VCS VERs

The Co-op’s move to become carbon

neutral in such a short space of

time, part of a multi-pronged ethical

operations plan, means that it will

become one of the UK’s biggest

buyers of Voluntary credits.

Co-Op buys credits from the

Voluntary Carbon Standard, one of

the main industry standards in the

voluntary markets.

Land Rover’s carbon offset

programme currently has 14

emissions reduction projects in

China, approximately 45% of the

total portfolio by volume.

Land Rover also offsets 100% of

the manufacturing assembly CO2

emissions in both UK factories, where

all Land Rover products are assembled.

This is all part of their carbon

management plan.

General Motors are planning

to invest $40m to offset

around 8 million tonnes of CO2.
