Carbon Offsetting

Offset your Carbon Footprint and become Carbon Neutral

The idea behind offsetting is simple. You calculate your emissions and then decide the amount to offset. You then neutralise their impact on the environment and climate change by taking steps to minimise greenhouse gas emissions and investing in emissions offsets.

The purchased offsets are 'retired' and taken out of circulation. When the offsets come from projects, the money you pay goes to a local community or business to help fund more environmentally-friendly (and lower emission) development options, which can include new technology. The projects often have direct benefits to the local community.

The Carbon Offset Market

An increasing number of voluntary offset allowances are now being traded. They are a recognised way for organisations to offset their carbon footprint and become carbon neutral.

We can source units from carbon offset projects either directly or through CantorCO2e and the Climate Warehouse. Offsets can be "Kyoto compliant" or so called "grey market" emission units. 

To manage reputational risk, all offsets held by the Climate Warehouse will be issued by either a governmental agency or managed in accordance with the internationally recognised Voluntary Carbon Standard.
