Climate project portfolio "Global impact"
Diversified like an ETF, the ClimatePartner Global impact portfolio brings together twelve carefully selected climate projects across ten technologies and five continents.
Get in touch1. Broad coverage
Twelve projects, five continents, ten technologies: the portfolio delivers wide-ranging, balanced impact without companies having to build a portfolio themselves.
2. Independently assessed
All projects undergo ClimatePartner's multi-stage project integrity screening. Portfolio projects that have been externally assessed by rating agencies such as BeZero Carbon, Sylvera, and MSCI have received a rating of BB or higher, on a scale from AAA (highest) to D (lowest).
4. Flexible and scalable
The climate project portfolio is bookable from as little as 1 kg of carbon, regardless of company size.
5. Ready to communicate
The Global impact portfolio is compatible with ClimatePartner's EmpCo-compliant labels. With an individual transparency page, companies can credibly communicate their funding of climate projects.

Frequently asked questions
Even with ambitious reduction targets, emissions continue to arise on the path to net zero. Climate projects make it possible to take responsibility for those emissions today. The SBTi explicitly recommends this approach as part of a comprehensive climate strategy. For a closer look at the business case, our blog post "7 reasons to finance climate projects" covers the key benefits.
A carbon credit portfolio, also referred to as a climate project portfolio, is a curated selection of climate projects financed together. Rather than supporting a single project, a portfolio spreads contributions across different technologies, regions and project types.
A single climate project works particularly well when there is a direct connection to a company's own value chain, whether geographic or thematic. The Global impact portfolio is the right choice when broad impact and diversification are the priority. The two approaches can also be combined. Our blog post "Single climate project vs. climate project portfolio" explores the differences in more detail.
The voluntary carbon market has faced scrutiny in recent years, particularly around the impact of individual projects. ClimatePartner addresses this through a multi-stage project integrity screening process. External ratings from independent agencies also play an important role. Only projects that meet these requirements are included in the Global impact portfolio.
A current overview of all twelve climate projects is available on our portfolio project page.
