Water is quickly becoming one of the most material—and under-addressed—risks in corporate sustainability. While carbon accounting has matured, water risk remains highly localized, harder to quantify, and deeply tied to operational resilience. Yet by 2050, a significant share of global GDP is expected to face high water stress. To help bridge that gap, we published a Complete 2026 Guide to Water Credits. This guide goes deeper into the technical side of water stewardship, including: What water credits actually represent •Each credit = 1,000 gallons of freshwater flow restored or improved, typically quantified using Volumetric Water Benefit (VWB) methodologies How projects meet additionality requirements •Credits fund outcomes that would not occur without intervention—such as environmental water transactions (EWTs), infrastructure upgrades, and flow restoration agreements Verification and tracking •Projects are third-party verified and tracked through registries (e.g., S&P Global) to prevent double counting and ensure transparency Hydrological relevance & basin-level impact •Water benefits are geographically specific, making watershed alignment and basin prioritization key considerations for buyers Project typologies • Instream flow restoration • Wetland and ecosystem rehabilitation • Agricultural efficiency improvements Accounting best practices • Annual purchasing aligned to water footprint • Preference for recent vintages (3–5 years) • Integration with ESG frameworks like WRI VWB 2.0, SDGs, and LEED Water credits are evolving into a critical tool for managing water-related risk, strengthening ESG disclosures, and investing in measurable environmental outcomes. If your sustainability strategy starts and ends with carbon, you’re missing a major piece of the equation.

Carbon credits get a lot of attention. But carbon is only one piece of the environmental puzzle. If you're serious about sustainability, you need to think beyond carbon and understand the full ecosystem of environmental credits available today. Electricity consumption. Aviation emissions. Water stress. Plastic pollution. Thermal fuels. Biodiversity loss. Each of these impact areas has a market-based mechanism designed to address residual impact. The challenge isn’t just what to buy. It’s knowing when and why each credit makes strategic sense. In our latest guide, we break down: • Carbon Credits • Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) • Water Restoration Certificates (WRCs) • Plastic Credits • Biodiversity Credits • Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificates (SAFc) • Renewable Thermal Certificates (RTCs) We also explore how these instruments align with Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and what to look for to ensure quality, additionality, and credibility. Environmental markets are evolving quickly. Companies that understand how these mechanisms fit together will build more resilient, defensible sustainability strategies. If you're shaping your 2026 roadmap, this is worth a read. Read the full guide here: terrapass.com/blog/beyond-ca… #Sustainability #NetZero #CarbonMarkets #ClimateStrategy #ESG

Your carbon footprint doesn’t have to be a mystery. The average American is responsible for approximately 15 tons of CO₂ emissions per year — and understanding your impact is the first step toward addressing it. Here’s how to get started: • Calculate your footprint • Offset what you can’t eliminate • Support verified carbon-reduction projects Small actions add up. Taking responsibility for emissions today helps support real climate solutions. Visit Terrapass.com to calculate your carbon footprint and explore offset options.

In 2026, credible climate action has moved beyond a false choice. It is no longer a debate between decarbonization or carbon credits—it is about using both together, and using them well. As climate expectations rise and scrutiny intensifies, new guidance from global coalitions and standards bodies is reshaping how organizations approach carbon markets. Initiatives such as the Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets and the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) are providing much-needed clarity on the role high‑integrity carbon credits can play alongside sustained emissions reductions. The message is consistent: carbon credits are not a substitute for decarbonization, but when applied correctly, they can accelerate near‑term climate action, mobilize capital to critical projects, and support credible, transparent climate claims. For businesses navigating this evolving landscape, these developments mark a turning point. Clearer frameworks reduce uncertainty and lower greenwashing risk—but they also raise the bar. Organizations are now expected to demonstrate disciplined project selection, align credit attributes with specific climate objectives, and communicate how carbon credits fit within a broader emissions‑reduction strategy.

youtu.be/YYspivTxRw4?si… What is REDD+? It’s a global climate framework designed to protect the world’s forests and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Forests absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide, helping regulate the climate. But when forests are destroyed or degraded, they can become a significant source of emissions. To address this, countries established the REDD+ framework under the Paris Agreement. REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in developing countries. The “+” represents additional forest-related activities that support climate action, including sustainable forest management, conservation, and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks. Through REDD+, developing countries can receive results-based payments for verified emission reductions achieved by reducing deforestation—creating a powerful incentive to protect forests while supporting long-term sustainability. Interested in supporting REDD+ projects? Connect with Terrapass to explore forest protection solutions that drive climate impact.

How do carbon offset and REC buyers know they are getting what they pay for? In the voluntary carbon market, how a credit is generated is only part of the equation. What happens after purchase including tracking, ownership, and retirement is just as critical to ensuring real climate impact. This is where Green-e® Certification plays an essential role. Green-e® is an independent nonprofit certification program that verifies environmental products from project quality through final retirement, not just at the point of generation. For buyers of renewable energy certificates and carbon offsets, Green-e® provides assurance in three key areas. First, project quality. Green-e® Climate Certified offsets must be verified by leading programs such as the American Carbon Registry, Climate Action Reserve, Gold Standard, or Verified Carbon Standard. Second, accurate and transparent marketing. Green-e® conducts annual compliance reviews to ensure environmental claims are truthful and not misleading. Third, chain of custody and retirement. Green-e® audits sales against registry retirements to confirm credits are sold only once and properly retired. As Sam Telleen, President of Terrapass, notes, “Independent third-party verification is important not just in the generation of credits, but also in the retirement of credits by sellers.” Most businesses do not have the expertise or resources to source credits, manage registries, and handle retirements on their own. They rely on environmental product providers to manage these steps responsibly. Green-e® adds an extra layer of accountability through its annual auditing process. That is why Terrapass offers both Green-e® Energy Certified RECs and Green-e® Climate Certified Carbon Offsets, giving businesses confidence that their purchases deliver the impact they intend.
