Introduction
Carbonaires delivers high‑integrity carbon removals to Shoosmiths
Carbonaires has entered into a partnership with London‑based law firm Shoosmiths, enabling the firm to effectively achieve zero net operational carbon emissions for the 2024–2025 financial year while advancing corporate access to high‑integrity carbon removal credits and decarbonisation services. The partnership combines Shoosmiths' ambition to be a low‑carbon law firm, enabling a sustainable future for their clients, communities and their people, with Carbonaires' technology and carbon expertise, supporting organisations in taking transparent, science‑based steps toward decarbonisation.
Carbon Removal Delivery
Specialist carbon advisor Carbonaires has enabled Shoosmiths to effectively achieve zero net operational carbon emissions for the 2024–2025 financial year through the purchase and retirement of durable biochar carbon removal credits.
The credits were sourced from HUSK, a women‑led company operating in Cambodia and Vietnam, and are certified under the European Biochar Certification (EBC) “Carbon‑Sink Standard”, ensuring durable carbon storage for at least a century. Retired via Carbonaires' integration with Carbonplace, the process provides full digital traceability from issuance to retirement.
HUSK's model, “building soil, sinking carbon, improving livelihoods”, supports smallholder farmers by improving soil health and structure, leading to improved crop yields, reduced fertiliser use and higher incomes, while delivering long‑term carbon sequestration and environmental benefits.
Our vision is to be a low carbon law firm, enabling a sustainable future for our clients, communities, and our people. This milestone reflects our commitment to reducing emissions at source whilst investing in the development of the market for removals that meet the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and long‑term impact.
