Why BizClik Chose Amazon as its Carbon Credits Partner

As organisations work to reduce their emissions, many are turning to carbon markets to complement direct decarbonisation efforts. 

High-quality carbon credits enable businesses to neutralise residual emissions by supporting verified projects that either remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or prevent emissions from occurring in the first place. 

However, concerns around transparency, credibility and impact have made it essential for companies to choose carbon credit solutions carefully.

Amazon’s carbon credit service, part of its Sustainability Exchange, is emerging as a significant player in this space. Now expanded to qualified companies in the UK, the service aims to simplify access to high-integrity carbon credits while maintaining rigorous scientific and environmental standards.

“The voluntary carbon market has been challenged with issues of transparency, credibility, and the availability of high-quality carbon credits, which has led to scepticism about nature and technological carbon removal as an effective tool to combat climate change,” said Kara Hurst, Chief Sustainability Officer at Amazon.

“However, the science is clear: We must halt and reverse deforestation and restore millions of miles of forests to slow the worst effects of climate change. 

“We’re using our size and high vetting standards to help promote additional investments in nature, and we are excited to share this new opportunity with companies who are also committed to the difficult work of decarbonising their operations.”

BizClik’s sustainable media strategy

Participation in Amazon’s carbon credit service represents a natural extension of many companies’ broader sustainability roadmap – including BizClik.

As a global media and events company, BizClik operates across multiple global markets, bringing with it a responsibility to reduce operational emissions while contributing to wider climate solutions.

“Our 2026 sustainability strategy represents our renewed commitment to building a resilient, inclusive and low-carbon future that thrives on innovation and collaboration,” says Glen White, CEO of BizClik.

“What excites me most is how closely this aligns with our clients’ own ambitions. Together, we can turn sustainability commitments into real, lasting impact-creating opportunities for collaboration, innovation and long-term value for everyone involved.”

As the company behind Sustainability Magazine, BizClik already has sustainability embedded within its ecosystem. Through its Sustainability LIVE events, dedicated editorial platforms and executive communities, the company actively fosters dialogue around climate innovation, responsible growth and the future of sustainable business.

“At BizClik Media, sustainability is embedded into our long-term business strategy and the global platforms we build across media, events and executive communities,” explains Stacy Green, Chief People and Sustainability Officer.

“As a growing international media and events company operating across multiple global markets, we recognise the importance of continuing to reduce operational emissions while also supporting credible climate solutions as part of our wider sustainability journey. We believe businesses should act now, not wait, and continue taking practical steps towards long-term environmental responsibility.”

However, BizClik recognises that meaningful climate action requires more than conversation. 

By integrating carbon credits into its strategy, the company is taking a practical step to address emissions that cannot yet be eliminated.

“BizClik is participating in Amazon's carbon credit service on the Sustainability Exchange, which has just expanded to qualified companies in the UK,” Stacy continues.

“As part of our wider sustainability roadmap, we were looking for a solution that offered confidence in quality, transparency and alignment with our broader sustainability commitments, alongside access to a growing range of credit types across multiple climate solutions.

“With this service, we get credits sourced with the same industry-leading approach that Amazon uses for its own carbon neutralisation and insetting strategies.”

Amazon’s carbon credit service

Amazon’s offering is designed to address some of the key challenges businesses face when entering the voluntary carbon market. 

Sourcing high-quality credits can be complex, requiring expertise in project verification, risk assessment and long-term impact evaluation.

Amazon streamlines this process by managing sourcing, procurement, retirement and reporting on behalf of participating companies.

The credits available through the service are vetted using the same science-based approach Amazon applies to its own climate commitments. This ensures a high bar for quality in a market where only a small proportion of credits meet robust environmental and integrity standards.

The platform provides access to both carbon neutralisation and insetting credits, allowing organisations to align their carbon strategies with broader sustainability goals. By removing the operational burden of navigating the carbon market, Amazon enables businesses to focus on integrating climate action into their core strategies.

Diversified carbon credits portfolio

Amazon’s carbon credit service supports projects spanning both nature-based and technological solutions, offering companies flexibility in how they contribute to climate mitigation.

Key categories include:

• Superpollutant abatement: Projects focused on the safe destruction of legacy refrigerants and reducing methane emissions, particularly from agricultural processes such as rice cultivation.
• Reducing deforestation: Jurisdictional REDD+ programmes that protect forests, preserve biodiversity and support communities that depend on these ecosystems.
• Restoring forests: Nature-based initiatives aimed at reforestation and ecosystem restoration, with strong carbon sequestration potential.
• Technological carbon removal: Advanced solutions such as direct air capture, which removes carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and stores it permanently.
• Lower-carbon fuels: Insetting credits that support the production of renewable fuels, helping to reduce lifecycle emissions within supply chains.

This range allows organisations to support a portfolio of climate solutions, balancing immediate impact with long-term innovation.
