Organisations who are contemplating becoming ‘Carbon Neutral’ are faced with a myriad of choices with regards to offset standards. It’s a confusing issue and one for which there is no right or wrong answer, it all depends on the brand, culture and sustainability goals of each individual organisation. EcoSecurities will facilitate an interactive discussion on the key issues which need to be considered when any organisation is contemplating which carbon offsets to use as part of any overall carbon management strategy. In particular the webinar will focus on:

- What is a standard?
- When is a high quality standard perhaps not as important?
- Building capacity
- Challenges for the implementation of projects
- Current trends
- Pricing
- Case study – Yahoo!
- Registries
- Interactive Q & A
