Berkeley Burke have carefully reviewed Carbon Credit investments and having considered matters further regarding ‘Carbon Credits’ we confirm that we will no longer be accepting these investments into the Berkeley Burke SIPP. Also, with immediate effect, we will not be asking SIPP Investment Platform to undertake any review reports of investments of this nature going forward.
Also, for the Willow Rivers Rainforest Carbon Credit Generation (Avoided Deforestation Project - Manuas) investment – as this investment is currently under review by SIP we have put this on hold until the review is completed.

entire group.

its obligations.
