As real estate organisations progress towards net zero, carbon credits are becoming an essential tool for addressing residual emissions. The BBP’s Carbon Credit Procurement Guide aims to assist organisations in navigating the procurement of high-integrity carbon credits to offset any residual emissions and support net zero strategies.
Tailored to the Real Estate Sector
Developed specifically for commercial property owners, the guide offers clear, actionable steps that align with evolving best practice, investor expectations and long-term sustainability goals.
Bringing Clarity to a Complex Market
With the voluntary carbon market often difficult to navigate, this guide provides a structured approach to support informed and consistent procurement decisions.
The guide supports members to:
-
Develop a carbon credit procurement specification aligned with sustainability goals
-
Conduct due diligence on brokers and suppliers
-
Evaluate carbon credit projects with consistent criteria
-
Embed risk management and integrity checks into procurement
The Due Diligence Questionnaire is provided in Excel format, and can be downloaded and used by organisations to gather and evaluate responses from carbon credit brokers and suppliers, in order to inform decision making on selection of brokers and specific projects.
