Positive steps

Offsetting our emissions and protecting mangrove forests

While we strive to limit our carbon impact, some emissions are inevitable. To compensate for our lounge spaces at Frieze art fairs, we’ve bought carbon credits through our partners First Climate to help fund projects including the “Vida Manglar” mangrove project in Colombia and the “Katingan Restoration and Conservation Project” in Indonesia. These mangrove and peatland forests are powerhouses for carbon storage. In addition to the positive climate impact, these project activities also support sustainable economic development in communities in the project area and biodiversity conservation.
