Introducing the offset ledger: a shared view for climate and finance

A practical way to track purchases, certificates, and allocations in one place.

February 4, 2026 • 5 min read

The Minpact offset ledger is designed to give sustainability and finance teams a shared, consistent view of what has been purchased, what has been approved, and what has been completed with certificates.

What you will see in the offset ledger

Once you are signed in, the offset ledger brings your organisation’s activity together in one place. Depending on your role, you can view certificates, payment status, allocations, and approval history.

  • •
    Certificates and verification: Completed purchases generate certificates you can download and reference in reporting.
  • •
    Allocations: Tag purchases to match internal structure (for example cost centers, projects, or business units) when enabled for your organisation.
  • •
    Approvals and status: Purchases pending approval stay out of dashboards and reporting until they are approved.

Filters, totals, and prices

The offset ledger is designed for day-to-day work, not just end-of-quarter reporting. Use search and filters to narrow down the list to the certificates that matter right now—and let Minpact calculate totals and price signals for the same selection.

  • •
    Filters: Filter by time window, status, and—when enabled for your organisation—allocation dimensions like cost center, project code, and business unit. If you use scope tagging, you can also filter by scope and scope category.
  • •
    Sums: See filtered totals such as total tCO₂e and total cost, so finance and sustainability teams work from the same numbers.
  • •
    Prices: The ledger surfaces an average price for the filtered selection (€/tCO₂e) and shows amounts per certificate, making it easier to reconcile spend with impact.

Exports that match your filters

When you need to share numbers with controllers, auditors, or internal reporting tools, you can export the current view. Exports follow the same filters you applied, so your spreadsheets match what you see on screen.

  • •
    Excel export: Export to XLSX for pivot tables and internal reporting workflows, or export to CSV for downstream systems. (Requires the right permissions.)

Impact breakdown stats and charts

Minpact can turn your filtered selection into a quick portfolio view: totals, allocation highlights, and charts that help you understand where impact and spend are concentrated. You can also download charts for presentations and internal updates.

Updating allocations, scopes, and payments

The offset ledger is also where you keep records tidy over time. Depending on your role, you can update allocation fields and metadata on a certificate (for example cost center, project code, business unit, tags, and comments) so reporting stays consistent. Finance users can also use the ledger to follow payment status and handle pending invoice payments where available.

Audit trail for each offset

For each certificate, you can open an audit trail that shows a time-stamped history of key events and changes. This makes it easier to answer “what changed, who changed it, and why” during reviews—without relying on manual spreadsheets.

Where to start in the Minpact dashboard

If you are new to Minpact, start with the dashboard and follow the links that match your workflow:

These pages require an account and the right permissions. If you do not have access to a page, ask your organisation admin to update your role.
