We did it! In November at the U.S. Green Building Council’s Greenbuild Trade Show in Philadelphia, the Carbon Canopy announced transactions for carbon offsets from our first two projects in Western North Carolina and Southwest Virginia. So what do you do in 2014 after a successful launch of the Carbon Canopy’s first transactions?
Today, the Carbon Canopy partnership announces the sale of its carbon offsets from its first forest carbon pilot projects, covering more than 12,000 acres on properties located in Western North Carolina and Southwestern Virginia.
At the 2013 Greenbuild Conference in Philadelphia, Dogwood Alliance, in partnership with Forest Stewardship Council-US , Interface, Inc. and Staples announced commitments by Interface and Staples to purchase forest carbon offsets from two projects in the Southern Appalachian region of the US South, developed by the Carbon Canopy.
Our agreement with International Paper is in the running for a BENNY Award presented by the Business Ethics Network. We know you think our work is important please let them know!
In late August, we met with IP executives and procurement foresters to chart our route forward. This is where the rubber hits the road, and Dogwood is working hard to make sure our important agreement with IP delivers on its promise.
