How CIX enables high-impact climate contributions
CIX offers Blue Water Shipping streamlined access to a diverse portfolio of quality carbon credits, focusing on projects supporting nature conservation, biodiversity protection and community development. With the flexibility to purchase and retire credits from as little as one tonne of CO2 per shipment, Blue Water Shipping can tailor climate contributions to meet specific customer needs.
CIX’s project assessment process draws on international carbon certification standards, multi-stakeholder best practices and independent carbon credit ratings by agencies such as Sylvera and BeZero Carbon. This approach gives Blue Water Shipping access to high-integrity credits, enabling customers to confidently support projects with verified and meaningful climate impacts.
