Our exclusive pre-made portfolio is designed to make your carbon offset purchases both cost-effective and streamlined. By carefully combining a diverse range of high-quality carbon offset projects, we provide a comprehensive solution tailored to maximise environmental impact while minimising effort and cost.

Our portfolio encompasses three primary categories of carbon credit projects: Nature-Based Solutions (Reductions), Nature-Based Solutions (Removals) and Tech-Based Solutions. Each category represents a unique approach to carbon offsetting, enabling a balanced and diversified carbon credit strategy.

We align our best practice approach to carbon credits following the revised (2024) Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon, SBTi’s Beyond Value Chain Mitigation guidance, and the ICVCM & ICROA.

Pre-made Portfolio

Nature-Based Solutions (Reductions)

  • Projects that focus on preserving and restoring critical ecosystems like forests, peatlands, and coastal habitats. By protecting these natural carbon reservoirs, they significantly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.

    Examples of projects: Preservation of forests, protection of peatlands, coastal habitat restoration.

  • Various regions worldwide, with a focus on areas where preservation has the highest impact on carbon reduction.

Nature-Based Solutions (Removals)

  • Projects in this category are designed to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by enhancing natural carbon sinks. These initiatives include reforestation, wetland restoration, and switching to agricultural practices that promote soil health and carbon sequestration.

    Examples of projects: Reforestation, mangrove restoration, sustainable agriculture practices such as crop rotation.

  • Globally distributed, targeting regions with high potential for carbon sequestration through ecosystem restoration.

Tech-Based Solutions

  • These innovative projects leverage cutting-edge technology to capture, store, and reduce carbon emissions. By investing in these solutions, we drive the development of future technologies that can substantially lower global carbon levels.

    Examples of projects: Renewable energy projects, biochar production, direct air capture, enhanced rock weathering, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), mineralization, marine carbon capture, and gas capture.

  • International, focusing on regions where technological innovation and deployment have the greatest potential for impact.

High Quality Carbon Credits

VCP Carbon - Features and Benefits

  • Due Diligence

    Every carbon credit included in our portfolio undergoes rigorous vetting by independent rating agencies. We ensure that only high-quality projects are selected based on their risk profile and the reliability of their methodologies. This meticulous screening process guarantees that our portfolio is comprised of credible and effective carbon offset projects.

  • Retirement

    When it's time to retire your carbon credits, VCP Carbon handles the entire process for you. We retire the portfolio at the optimal time and volume under your company’s name, ensuring full transparency. The retired credits are then publicly listed on verified registries, providing proof of your commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction.

  • Actively Managed

    In a dynamic carbon market, we take a proactive approach to managing the VCP Carbon portfolio. Our team continuously monitors market conditions and adjusts the portfolio to ensure that, at the time of credit retirement, you benefit from the most reliable and impactful carbon credits available. This active management strategy maximises the value of your carbon offset investments.

  • Lloyds Underwirtten

    To provide additional security, VCP Carbon’s portfolio is underwritten by Lloyd’s of London. This underwriting offers full coverage, protecting you against potential shortfalls in the performance or methodology of any project after the credits have been purchased. With this insurance, you can invest with confidence, knowing that your carbon offsets are safeguarded against unforeseen risks.

  • Ex-Post

    All carbon credits included in VCP Carbon’s portfolio are via projects which have issued their credits, with the underlying project's impact verified. This ex-post issuance model mitigates the risk of credit reversal and guarantees that your investment is based on actual, realised carbon projects.
