At Kieger, we believe in science. Study after study shows that addressing the depletion of natural resources and limiting global warming is essential to promote a world where humanity can thrive for generations. We need more action. This is a testament to our dedication to go beyond carbon offsetting.
We compensated our 2023 operational emissions using Gold Standard certified community projects. Recognizing that merely offsetting our footprint is insufficient to address the world's environmental challenges, we proudly support Milkywire's Climate Transformation Fund—a key component of our handprint, symbolizing our positive impact. This initiative allows us to support the development and deployment of pioneering climate solutions. From cutting-edge carbon removal technologies to projects that aim to reshape climate policy, we're fond of being at the forefront of change and innovation. Yet, we believe this is just the beginning. Together, we can unlock new possibilities for a sustainable world.
Milkywire's Climate Transformation Fund, established in 2021, focuses on innovative projects that accelerate progress toward net-zero targets and align with ambitious sustainability leadership goals. Our mission is to achieve maximum long-term CO₂ reduction or removal per dollar spent. We're committed to supporting new technical solutions, influencing climate policy for greater ambition, and scaling up nature-based projects. With 49 projects already backed and 15+ partners on board, we're paving the way for a sustainable future.
Durable carbon removal (CDR)
United States
Karbonetiq mineralizes CO₂ by carbonating alkaline industrial byproducts, such as steel slag, through a passive aeration process that is co-located with existing industrial activities. They are working closely with operational partners to establish low-cost, scalable, and quantifiable CDR projects that valorize industrial wastes and contribute to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors globally.
Decarbonisation
Australia
Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) is an independent think-tank working on net zero pathways for Australia, highlighting how the green transition benefits the economy. The CTF provides core support to BZE to strengthen its organisational capacity, research, and advocacy work.
Nature protection and restoration
Ecuador
The "Plant the Forests of Tomorrow" project in Ecuador aims to reforest 400 hectares with 200,000 native trees over 8 years in the Buenaventura Reserve. Jocotoco works on both establishing nature reserves and reforesting degraded landscapes in some of the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots. Jocotoco has a strong track record of establishing reserves and preventing species extinction, as well as addressing the root causes of deforestation.
Taking meaningful climate action is essential for addressing the climate crisis. Strategies like internal carbon fees allow businesses to invest in high-quality projects that tackle critical challenges, such as carbon removal, nature restoration, and reforestation, while driving measurable and lasting impact. This approach fosters innovation, accountability, and real progress toward a net-zero future. Milkywire supports companies in achieving effective climate action through its proven Climate Transformation Fund. Aligned with leading frameworks like SBTi and guided by top scientific experts, the fund ensures every contribution supports impactful, science-backed projects. With rigorous quality assurance, transparent reporting, and a focus on maximizing outcomes, Milkywire offers a best-in-class solution for funding meaningful environmental change.
