ClimeCo Corporation Ranked 2nd Among Top Global Wholesale Carbon Offset Providers

BOYERTOWN, Pa., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ClimeCo celebrates its nomination of "Runner-Up, Best Global Wholesale Provider" of voluntary carbon offsets, as announced by Environmental Finance.

"It is an honor to be recognized by our peers and clients," stated ClimeCo president William Flederbach.  "As the only U.S. based provider nominated to this category, ClimeCo's position among its larger global market of peers is reinforced.  This acknowledgement demonstrates the growth of our seasoned and qualified team, all experts within their individual areas of concentration."

Within the Climate Action Reserve, ClimeCo is the largest producer of U.S. voluntary carbon credits, managing projects that generate in excess of three million credits per year.

All carbon offsets transacted by ClimeCo are of the highest quality available on the market, generated by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction projects that are constructed within the United States, vigorously verified by a third-party and issued by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR).

"ClimeCo observed an increase in voluntary carbon market transactions in 2013, amidst market-wide reports of decreased trade volumes," noted Flederbach.  "ClimeCo is witnessing a pivotal market milestone.  New players with large carbon footprints are coming to the market to achieve carbon neutrality,"

ClimeCo's diverse commodity portfolio engages private blue-chip and Fortune 500 companies looking to increase the impact of their offset purchases.  ClimeCo's Philanthropic Reduction Programs enable companies to meet their carbon neutral or reduction goals while benefitting participating charitable farming organizations.

Over 720 market and industry participants submitted write-in nominations to recognize top providers of voluntary carbon market-related services within the 2014 Voluntary Carbon Market Survey conducted by Environmental Finance.  Participants were asked to nominate candidates based on efficiency and speed of transaction; reliability; innovation; quality of service provided and influence on the market, not just the volume of transactions handled.
