Our strategy

BC-S2C’s strategy is to achieve real action on climate change and solid shareholder returns by:

  • Developing, financing (owning) and operating a portfolio of long-life, low-cost, blue, teal and green carbon projects at a scale that generates a reliable supply of high integrity carbon credits and co-benefits from Australia and the Indo-Pacific.
     
  • Trading our own and third-party credits and co-benefits through our Trading Platform or directly to clients with our platform connecting to their platform.

Our strategy is based on a balanced scorecard approach with a focus on financial (projects- own and aggregated), landowners (carbon credit suppliers), clients (carbon credit buyers), and internal (business systems and human, information & organisational capital) pillars.
 

Our objectives

Our objectives are to ensure:

  • We build a portfolio of blue, teal and green ecosystem restoration projects that generate carbon credits at scale across a range of jurisdictions (Australia and the Indo-Pacific).
     
  • We use a range of “best-available technique” methodologies, like the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) methodology for Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) and the international Verra and Gold Standard methodologies and their respective credit types.
     
  • We trade real, verified, and high-quality “carbon credits + co-benefits”, competitively priced on our platform (or directly to clients, with our platform connecting to their platform) through our internal business systems and our Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL).
     
  • Our carbon credits and co-benefits help meet our client’s climate change commitments, decarbonisation strategies, ESG strategies and demonstrate support for the Paris Agreement and several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDG).
     
  • Our BC-S2C team and BlueCarbon Institute (BC-I) team provide human information and organisational capital, plus the best-applied research, trained teams and thousands of plants per year, enabled by mobile camps and marine services, to achieve real action on climate change.

 

Our goals

We know we are successful when:

  • Our people return home each day safely and we have contributed towards achieving real action on climate change with our projects.
     
  • We have delivered major projects at scale by restoring and protecting 10,000 hectares of blue, teal and green carbon ecosystems
     
  • We and our clients have retired 1,000,000 of our carbon credits
     
  • Our carbon credits and co-benefits have helped meet our client’s climate change commitments, decarbonisation strategies, ESG strategies and have demonstrate support for the Paris Agreement and several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG)
     
  • We have created our first 200 jobs (50 direct jobs and 150 indirect jobs), with a focus on expanding Indigenous and female workforce opportunities
     
  • We have delivered our projects sustainably, on time, on budget, on spec and with operational and financial discipline and with a sense of purpose and fun
     
  • We have created material economic wealth in the form of taxes, royalties, wages, supplier invoices and our shareholders have received solid share price and dividend returns.
