ATPI joins the Voluntary Carbon Market’s Reduce and Invest campaign 

Since 2021, the launch of ATPI Halo, we have been helping clients meet their sustainability goals by curbing emissions and investing in effective climate solutions through the Voluntary Carbon Market. This comes alongside our commitment to compensating for our own global emissions in the same way. 

The future of our planet will be determined by the actions we take today. To win the fight against climate change, reducing global carbon emissions is essential. While innovations may emerge over time that will help us curb greenhouse gases, we don’t have time to wait. The time to act is now.  

At ATPI, we believe measuring and compensating for carbon emissions are practices that all businesses, irrespective of size should adopt, as opposed to considering optional. Sustainability directives are already coming into force across Europe. The US also has plans, and other regions are likely to follow suit. To comply, businesses will need to have robust carbon reporting in place, as well as a sustainability strategy with proven positive impact.  

That’s why we’re proud to announce that we are part of the Voluntary Carbon Market’s Reduce and Invest campaign.   

Ian Sinderson, CEO at ATPI, said: “When it comes to carbon emissions, it’s essential that we act today to save tomorrow. The Reduce and Invest campaign reflects ATPI’s long-standing belief that accounting for the emissions generated by our operations is not just good business practice, but our responsibility as a global enterprise.  

“As we continue to strive to reduce our footprint – and inspire our clients to do the same – we can trust that the investment we make in the Voluntary Carbon Market also has profound human and philanthropic benefits.”  

A new strategic mantra  

The Reduce and Invest campaign encourages businesses to take a two-pronged approach to balancing their (carbon) books. Companies looking to demonstrate strong corporate climate leadership can commit to reducing their GHG footprint as quickly and extensively as possible, while simultaneously using the Voluntary Carbon Market to invest in effective climate solutions that compensate for hard to abate emissions.  

At ATPI, we know that “it’s better when it’s balanced.” Through our commitment to the Voluntary Carbon Market and driving additionality, we can now help our clients offset their unavoidable travel and events carbon footprint and contribute to high quality, fully certified carbon projects in developing countries.   

It’s a strategic approach for businesses, but more importantly, it’s the right thing to do.  

Bringing balance to business 

For the past three years, ATPI has offset its carbon emissions by purchasing from our ATPI Halo carbon credit portfolio. This investment goes far beyond carbon; our credits have contributed to regenerating valuable forests and mangroves while protecting endangered species and biodiversity. There are philanthropic benefits for local communities, such as job creation, improving education, health, and welfare, which in turn support awareness within the communities about the importance of regenerating and protecting their native eco-systems.  

As a global travel and events company, ATPI has long been aware of its Carbon Footprint and the impact that our industry has. Our team is dedicated to accounting for the emissions generated by our business operations and we’re also keen to ensure that our clients down the supply chain have access to accurate reporting to be able to take the next steps to reduce and invest. 

Whilst reducing emissions where we can (by transitioning to green energy suppliers and replacing our fleet of vehicles with electric/hybrid vehicles), the majority of our footprint comes from Scope 3 emissions that are often difficult to address, a challenge that many of our clients are also facing. We are continually looking to identify new ways to positively address our impact and investing in carbon credits from our APTI Halo portfolio drives environmental and social benefits today, whilst we continue to pursue other ways to reduce global warming. The time to act is now. Being part of the Reduce and Invest campaign is testimony to our ultimate Net Zero ambition.
