CNBC European Business magazine has published its 2008 Global Top 100 Low-Carbon Pioneers list, and named Climate Care as number 75 – the only specific voluntary carbon market offset supplier on the list.

The list was ‘exhaustively researched over a six-month period in 2007, through peer review, company interviews and the sustained efforts of a panel consisting of CNBC European Business Magazine editorial team and acknowledged experts Elisabeth Jeffries, Flemmich Webb and Mike Scott’.

Mike Mason, Climate Care’s founder, said “It is fantastic that our ten years of hard work and our pioneering work in sustainable energy projects has been recognised in this survey.”

Low Carbon Pioneers Report

Climate Care

"Arguably the leading offset company in the UK and in certain respects ahead of its peers across Europe. Pioneering founder Mike Mason has done much to rebut ill-informed critics of offsetting over the past year and is involved in the regulated CDM market as well as the voluntary offset sector.

Sister company Pioneer Carbon is based in Nairobi and secures offsets consistent with the new voluntary offset standard introduced by The Climate Group last November. Climate Care offers class-leading rigour on offset practices and remains a pioneer in this regard. It also remains a reliable source for small scale, retail offsets aimed at the public."
