What is carboncreditz?

carboncreditz is a lifestyle choice allowing everyone to be proactive in the fight against climate change. You may feel that one person's actions will have little effect but together it could be life changing globally. We empower consumers collectively to make a big change to the environment by making small changes to what they already do.

How can carboncreditz be used?

Companies can use the carboncreditz currency in 3 key ways: -

1. As a green promotional currency. Promoters can use codes on or in pack that are entered onto the site and are worth any amount of creditz to fit a budget.
2. As a reward mechanism within the workplace to recognize environmentally friendly actions by staff such as car sharing or cycling to work. The online rewards platform is supplied by carboncreditz.
3. To offset the company's carbon footprint whilst engaging staff in the choice of offset projects.

Why use carboncreditz?

To enhance the company's green credentials in the eyes of their customers especially where their products are not inherently green.

• Step 1: Identify the carbon footprint of the product in grams. By 2012 Tesco intend that every product that they sell will have a carbon footprint label.
• Step 2: Offer 10 times the value of carboncreditz than the carbon footprint cost of the product as a promotion. The reason for this is that, even if the consumer chooses to get merchandise rather than offset, because of the 10% compulsory offset, the carbon footprint of the product will always be neutralised.
• Step 3: Decide the payment model. As we wanted 100% of the value of creditz to be available for consumers to spend, carboncreditz is funded by a 10% promoter surcharge on codes redeemed. Each creditz is worth 1p, therefore the promoter pays at the rate of 1.1p on a per redemption basis. A risk managed solution is offered via a fixed fee if required.

How do consumers spend creditz?

• On a choice of offset projects
• To get energy saving merchandise
• To pay energy bills
• Transfer to schools or other approved schemes

How else can consumers get creditz?

There are already over 30,000 registered users on carboncreditz. In addition to earning creditz through the workplace or promotions, they can accumulate creditz by shopping online at any of the 1,400 partner stores. carboncreditz pays one of the highest percentage rates in affiliate marketing.
