Creative Offsets

Reduce your environmental impact with our carbon offsetting scheme, Creative Offsets. It is the easiest way to take action on unavoidable emissions that cannot be reduced or eliminated.

Welcome to Creative Offsets

Our scheme is here to help you offset what you can’t reduce.

Offsetting is the act of purchasing carbon credits to compensate for greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere. Each carbon credit represents one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent that has been reduced by a verified project.

As part of their climate action programmes, more and more companies are choosing to offset their unavoidable emissions by supporting impactful carbon reduction projects around the world.

We are delighted to be working with Ecologi to deliver the Creative Offsets scheme.

What is albert's Creative Offsets Scheme?

Creative Offsets is albert’s bespoke scheme to help Film and TV productions offset the emissions they cannot reduce. To reach net-zero as an industry and avoid the worst effects of climate change, we must reduce as much of our greenhouse gas emissions as possible and offset the remainder.

To deliver our Creative Offsets scheme, we have selected Ecologi* – the UK’s leading climate action platform. The projects selected by Ecologi are all verified by either the Gold Standard or the Verified Carbon Standard.

If you have any further questions, please read our Creative Offsets FAQs.

*From October 2024, 5% of the fee productions pay to Ecologi to offset their emissions through the Creative Offsets scheme will go to albert.

Macaúbas Landfill Gas Project

Macaúbas Landfill Gas Project is a landfill gas collection, use and flare project in Brazil. The main objective of the project is to prevent emissions of methane gas into the atmosphere from the landfill site called “Central de Tratamento de Resíduos Macaúbas” located in the municipality of Sabará in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The project activity comprises the installation of new active LFG extraction, flaring and electricity generation systems.

The implementation of this project will both prevent environmentally damaging methane from being released into the atmosphere and export electricity to the grid, while preventing emissions of methane. Additionally the project will provide jobs and income generation, as qualified operators are needed to maintain and operate the machinery.

How do I know that my carbon offset contribution is actually making a difference?

We’ve chosen to work with Ecologi so we can be confident that the money spent on offsetting will guarantee the emissions reductions occurred and that the projects will protect and enhance the natural environment and the communities living in them.

To issue carbon credits, the projects must prove that the emission reductions are real, permanent and additional – which means they would not have occurred without the carbon finance. The projects in the scheme are verified by either The Verified Carbon Standard or The Gold Standard and are regularly monitored and audited.
