United States Carbon Control Programs - Consulting

The North American carbon market presents clients with a confusing array of choices, choices that BGC Environmental Brokerage Services professionals are uniquely qualified to assist in the evaluation and execution. While it is evident that many companies face a carbon constrained future, it is anything but clear:

• When the future will arrive
• Who will be affected
• Whose rules will be applied
• Whether the program will be an upstream or downstream program
• What sort of reductions will be useable
• What will be required
• And what sort of reductions will be required

BGC assists clients to understand and make choices in order to navigate through these uncertainties. In the context of regulatory development and policy-making, this can involve:

• Participating in public hearings in an advocacy role
• Meeting with legislators and regulators tasked with the responsibility to developing programs

BGC also assists clients to develop point of sale oriented programs. These programs generally involve establishing a system whereby a company's carbon footprint is offset, in part, by customers that voluntarily elect to contribute a nominal sum of money at the time of each sale. The monies, in the aggregate, are then directed at carbon reduction projects that are either of the customer or client's choosing. Such programs have powerful appeal as they serve the dual purpose of offsetting a client's footprint, as well as empowering customers to make a difference. BGC is expert at designing these programs, ensuring that they will meet the scrutiny of skeptics, administering the programs, supplying the carbon reductions, and delivering monies to support carbon reduction projects.

Whether your company has a sustainability mandate or simply wants to "Green-Up" operations, BGC can help. We can assist you to design and build an in-house program that will allow your company, and your customers, to offset the GHG emissions generated by your day-to-day activities and business operations.
