BALANCE® REIMAGINES YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE
What is Balance?
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND
Powered by our peer-reviewed methodology, Balance projects are first of their kind and designed to last a minimum of 100 years, in harmony with the true lifecycle of CO₂. Our three pillars work together: nature restoration, community empowerment and tackling the root causes of climate breakdown.
Efficiency, Reduction, Balance
Once you’ve reduced your carbon footprint, Balance helps you deal with what remains by restoring nature and supporting local economies. Balance is about protecting the future and moving beyond offsets.
Every Balance Unit is fully traceable, verified and retired on global carbon exchanges, ensuring transparency, permanence and proof of real-world climate action.
Fixing a broken system
Our peer-reviewed approach, published in the International Journal of Sustainable Energy, is founded on three-pillars: biodiversity, social economics for people, and the co-benefit of addressing climate change.
