Offset Alliance

What Offset Alliance does

Offset Alliance LLC is a Carlsbad, California-based climate action company founded in 2019 that provides carbon accounting and verified CO2 offset services to service-based small and medium-sized businesses in North America, travel and tour operators, and climate-conscious individuals. Its core technology is the proprietary Offset Climate Certified® program built on the MORE Framework (Measure, Offset, Reduce, Engage), which applies the Greenhouse Gas Protocol standard across Scope 1, Scope 2, and 11 Scope 3 categories using a hybrid-operational approach with published emission factors from US EPA, UK DEFRA, UN ICAO, and CHSB. All offsets are retired through third-party-verified registries including Verra, Gold Standard, Climate Action Reserve, and Ocean Bound Plastics, with serial-numbered retirements providing public proof of action.

The company monetizes through two distinct motions: a consumer-facing direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform on its own website (Stripe and PayPal-processed) offering monthly subscriptions ($9/$18/$36), one-time offsets (from $15.75 per mT), flight offsets priced by duration ($9.06-$32.23), Alaska regional flights ($17.15-$28.58), and tiered climate-action gifts ($25/$50/$100) including Trees for Bees, Plastic Free Coastlines, and Coastal Mangroves; and a consultative B2B sales motion delivering Offset Climate Certified® certification, carbon accounting services, event carbon measurement, and co-branded climate programs for travel operators. Travel-company channel partners (SD Whale Watch, Kayak Adventures Worldwide, Cruise San Diego, Responsible Adventures, Global Basecamps) and vertical integrators (Green Circle Salons Carbon Neutral Benefit) drive additional distribution. Offset Alliance has been a Certified B Corporation since 2021, donates 2% of revenues to verified partner charities (Sports Bra Project, San Diego Food System Alliance, Paso Pacifico), and reports having enabled over 86,400 metric tonnes of verified CO2 reductions since inception.
