Supporting credible offset project for safe water
Carbon credits purchased support the Burkina Faso Safe Water Project. The project provides communities across the country with access to clean water. This eliminates the need to boil water for purification, thus reducing carbon emissions and helping prevent deforestation.
CPCS’s Carbon Reduction Plan
CPCS has a Carbon Reduction Plan and is committed to achieving net-zero by 2050. Since 2019, we have implemented the following:
- Business travel policy: staff are encouraged to combine personal and business travel, thereby reducing the need for additional trips
- International placement program: supports long-term placements of consultants abroad within the context of project support to reduce the need for travel
- Hybrid work: requires staff to be in the office two days per week, significantly reducing the frequency of commutes
- Transit subsidy: CPCS reimburses 25% of public transit costs, up to an annual maximum, making it more affordable for employees to choose commuting options
- Environment and Social Responsibility Policy: aims to minimize negative environmental and social impacts while creating positive value for the environment, society, and economies
- Sustainable office practices: CPCS promotes sustainable office practices and prioritizes green office buildings for office leases when feasible
