bvco | our mission, our Difference

BVCO strives to be different from other carbon offset organisations in the following ways:

1.   addressing the carbon footprint first
2.   working only for community based projects
3.   connecting people to the funded project
4.   running additional & independent projects
5.   being a  not-for-profit organisation
6.   providing permanent CO2 reductions

CARBON FOOTPRINT- 

 
BVCO is committed combating climate change by reducing emissions and carbon saving through efficiency and lifestyle changes before offsetting through our projects. We are committed to making carbon footprint reductions first. See our carbon services here

 

COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Bringing practical benefits beyond reducing carbon emissions
The community energy projects that we undertake always tangibly improve the quality of life for those that we work with. Eg., our energy efficient stove and solar stove programme in Madagascar reduces fuel costs by four times.

 

THE CONNECTION-


All organisations and individuals that offset / onset with BVCO will be kept in touch with the project in which their money has been used in, and will receive quarterly newsletters on the project and the people that it is helping

   

ADDITIONAL & INDEPENDENT-

Our projects will reduce carbon dioxide emissions that otherwise would not be mitigated.  The always demonstrate that they make an additional benefit to the community or the environment.

 

NOT FOR PROFIT-
BVCO is a small not for profit organisation directly manages it the carbon offset finance through community energy projects and provides energy management consultancy. No third parties are involved; we transfer all profits into our offsetting schemes; and provide a friendly, personal, and memorable service from first contact to renewal.

 

PERMANENT CO2 REDUCTION-

BVCO does not invest in any project that has uncertain carbon reductions, or whose success cannot be measured over an appropriate length of time, such as forestry schemes.

Verification

Our large projects are verified through the Tourism Industry Carbon Offset (TICOS) service. If you are an organisation looking for a larger project to offset through then please contact ellie@blueventures.org.
