BizClik, the parent company of Procurement Magazine, has partnered with Amazon's carbon credit service to source verified carbon offsets as part of its 2026 sustainability strategy. The service, part of Amazon's Sustainability Exchange, provides access to credits vetted through Amazon's own climate standards, covering categories like reforestation, methane abatement, and direct air capture. For procurement teams, this reduces the burden of verifying credit quality individually. The partnership highlights how companies are using carbon markets to address residual emissions while continuing direct decarbonization efforts. BizClik's Chief People and Sustainability Officer Stacy Green said the company chose Amazon's service for its transparency and alignment with broader sustainability goals. The platform handles sourcing, retirement, and reporting, which could simplify carbon credit procurement for organizations lacking in-house expertise. Amazon's service is now available to qualified UK companies. It offers credits from nature-based and technological projects, including jurisdictional REDD+ programs and lower-carbon fuel insetting credits. This portfolio approach lets procurement teams balance immediate impact with long-term innovation through a single supplier relationship.

BizClik buying offsets from Amazon's service. Standard corporate carbon credit play, nothing groundbreaking. Curious what verification standard Amazon actually uses though. Article mentions 'science based approach' but that is vague.

The article says Amazon vets credits using the same approach they use for their own climate commitments. That could mean anything from rigorous third party verification to internal scoring. Would like to see actual methodology disclosed.

Worth noting this is about voluntary carbon market access for procurement teams. The real test will be whether these credits meet the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) core carbon principles. No mention of that in the article.

BizClik is a media and events company. Their actual emissions are probably mostly travel and office energy. Offsets for residual emissions make sense but the article does not say what share they are offsetting vs cutting directly.
