The information set out in this website has been prepared in good faith and while Tasman Environmental Markets Australia Pty Ltd (TEM) reasonably believes the information to be current, accurate, or reasonably held at the time of publication, to the maximum extent permitted by law, TEM: (a) makes no warranty as to the content’s accuracy or reliability; and (b) accepts no liability for any direct or indirect loss or damage arising from any errors, omissions, or information that is not up to date.
We’ve done our best to provide you with the information about offset projects. However, some parts of this website contain general financial product advice and so are only accessible to wholesale clients. Also, as the information on this website is general in nature, it does not constitute personal financial product advice or take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Therefore, before making any decision about TEM or our offset projects, you should consider the appropriateness of the information taking into account your own objectives, financial situation and needs.
Before you start offsetting with TEM, it is important that you let us know what sort of client you are:
- “Wholesale client”: a business which has more than 20 employees, or, if it is a manufacturing business, has more than 100 employees
- “Retail client”: a “small business” which has less than 20 employees, or, if it is a manufacturing business, has less than 100 employees
This is because ACCU and CER carbon offsets are regulated financial products. TEM is a corporate authorised representative (ABN 97 659 245 011, CAR 001297708) of TEM Financial Services Pty Limited (ABN 58 142 268 479, AFSL 430036) and is authorised to provide financial services related to carbon markets to wholesale clients only (within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001).
TEM is not authorised to provide financial services to retail clients, but we are able to sell you Voluntary Carbon Market products such as VCUs (from VERRA) and VERs (from Gold Standard). Only wholesale clients who qualify as such by reference to the small business test will be able to click through to the relevant parts of the TEM website.
