History
In 2005, sustainable energy expert Jamal Gore and entrepreneur Mark Chadwick created Carbon Clear to help organisations and individuals to manage the challenges presented by climate change. Since then the market for sustainability management services has grown in line with the need for private and public sector organisations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, in response to new climate change legislation and the imperative for voluntary action.
The company headquarters is in London, UK, and the company now operates offices in the United States, Spain, France and Turkey. It was recognised by the ENDS Report in 2008 as a Quality Offset Provider.[2]
