The World Sustainability Organization (WSO) launches the Carbon Offset campaign, an initiative aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of companies and organizations, concretely facing the global climatic crisis. This initiative is an opportunity for every reality that wishes to adopt more responsible environmental practices and contribute to the fight against climate change
Who is the World Sustainability Organization
The World Sustainability Organization It is an organization engaged in promoting environmental sustainability. Thanks to innovative certifications, initiatives and projects, WSO aims to sensitize and support companies and individuals in their path to a more sustainable future.
The climatic challenge
From the period of the industrial revolution, human activities have significantly increased greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, with devastating impacts on our planet. The IPCC 2023 ratio indicates that the average global temperature exceeded pre-industrial levels by 1.1 ° C (1850-1900). This change has already produced dramatic effects, including extreme climatic events, raising of sea level, dissolution of glaciers and loss of natural habitats.
The WSO initiative
The WSO, in collaboration with First, a reference partner in the evaluation of carbon emissions, launched the Carbon Offset campaign. This program helps companies reduce and compensate for their carbon imprint through a complete and personalized process. The companies involved in the program can:
- Carry out a detailed evaluation of your carbon emissions.
- Adopt strategies to reduce emissions where possible.
- Compensate for residual emissions through reforestation projects and other offset initiatives.
In addition, companies participating in the program can obtain the WSO “Carbon Neutral” logo, create your own forest and receive a personalized impact relationship. These actions demonstrate a concrete commitment to the environment and improve the corporate reputation, aligning with the Sustainable development objectives of the United Nations (SDG).
Compensation projects
The Carbon Offset campaign provides for the compensation of emissions through concrete and impacting projects, such as:
Save The Forests Campaign: Trees and forests play a crucial role in the absorption of CO₂. The reforestation activities involve local communities in countries such as Mali, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Indonesia, offering job opportunities for monitoring and planting.
Save the Seagrasses Campaign: The prairies of Posidonia and other marine fans absorb with a speed higher than the terrestrial forests. We support the Sea Ranger Service, an initiative that aims to recover 1 million hectares of marine biodiversity in six European countries by 2040, forming young people for a career in the maritime sector.
Why adhere?
Participating in the Carbon Offset campaign offers companies a series of concrete advantages. Firstly, it allows to significantly reduce the environmental impact, an increasingly central goal in modern corporate policies.
In addition, adhere to this initiative allows companies to position themselves as a leader in the field of sustainability, an aspect that distinguishes them in an increasingly sensitive market to these issues. Finally, the companies that undertake this path gain greater trust and recognition by customers, partners and investors, who reward the commitment to the protection of the environment.
As Paolo Bray, founder and director of the WSO said, “Even if emissions compensation does not represent a definitive solution to climate change, it is still a fundamental step towards a more sustainable future». The program proposed by the WSO provides companies with the necessary tools to start this important process of transformation, making sustainability not only an ethical value, but also a competitive advantage.
