Buy fair carbon credits
Buy carbon credits to help your organization achieve its sustainability goals. Here’s how it works:
1. Start by calculating your emissions.
2. Reduce your CO₂ emissions where possible.
3. Determine your carbon credit budget. There are several ways to do this:
- Put a price on every ton of CO₂ you still emit, and invest that amount in reduction measures and carbon credits.
- or buy carbon credits for every ton of CO₂ you emit.
- or invest a portion of your profit in carbon credits.
Choose high-quality carbon credits with a proven social impact. FairClimateFund is guided by one principle: fair distribution of the credit proceeds, with as much of the proceeds going to households as possible.
About FairClimateFund
Together with our partners we develop cleaner cooking projects. These projects reduce CO₂ emissions, protect trees and improve living conditions in places vulnerable to climate change.
Our Gold Standard & Fairtrade Climate Standard certified carbon credits are unique: a fair price is paid to households (mainly women) that are responsible for the achieved CO₂ reduction. Our goal: more than 70% of the revenue goes directly to projects and households.
People who have contributed the least to climate change but are most affected by it benefit the most from this.
We are B Corp certified since September 2022!
You can purchase smaller quantities of carbon credits directly through our calculator. Are you unsure how to proceed or considering making a major investment? Please contact one of our colleagues.

This standard was developed by Fairtrade International in collaboration with Gold Standard and focuses on supporting local communities and farmers in their fight against climate change. Elements of the Fairtrade Climate Standard include:
Fairtrade minimum price
The buyer pays a minimum price for the CO₂ credits or Fairtrade Carbon Credits. This minimum price covers all costs of the project
Fairtrade premium
A premium is paid on top of the minimum price. This premium is managed by the local cooperative and invested in activities that contribute to climate change adaptation
Reducing CO2 emissions
Buyers of more than 1,000 Fairtrade Carbon Credits must reduce their emissions according to an ambitious CO₂ reduction plan, based on a science-based target.
Carbon credits support the poorest
Local communities benefit most from Fairtrade Carbon Credits. Households are organized as members of a Fairtrade Carbon-certified cooperative. This cooperative sells the credits on behalf of its members at a fair price to a Fairtrade-certified carbon credit trader.
Self-reliance
Local cooperatives are trained to manage and implement climate projects independently. They provide training and are responsible for monitoring and maintenance, for example.
