ESG Consulting Firm Econine "Achieving Carbon Neutrality with Voluntary Carbon Credits"

ESG management consulting firm 'Econine' has achieved carbon neutrality by utilizing voluntary carbon credits.

Econine stated on the 11th, "Our company identified the direct and indirect sources of greenhouse gas emissions generated from business activities, measured the emission volume, and offset it by purchasing an equivalent amount in the voluntary carbon market."

Although Econine is not subject to domestic greenhouse gas regulations, it proceeded with voluntary emission offsetting to take the lead in carbon neutrality. This is the first case among domestic consulting firms to achieve carbon neutrality using voluntary carbon credits.

Carbon credits are certified units for reducing greenhouse gas emissions or increasing carbon absorption. When a company voluntarily purchases carbon credits, it can offset its own carbon emissions.

Econine announced that it selected high-quality credits certified by global voluntary carbon credit certification bodies such as Verra, Gold Standard, and UNFCCC to ensure reliability and quality assurance.

In particular, the carbon credits chosen by Econine align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), considering social, environmental, and economic sustainability.

Seo Wook, CEO of Econine, said, "By investing resources in calculating and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, I have come to better understand the difficulties faced by companies seeking consultation," adding, "We will continue our activities as a company practicing ESG management."
