Offset Your Footprint

Offsetting carbon emissions means compensating for your own greenhouse gas emissions by supporting projects that reduce or remove an equivalent amount of carbon elsewhere, such as reforestation, renewable energy, or biodiversity initiatives.

Yes. By measuring your emissions, reducing what you can, and offsetting the remainder, your business can achieve carbon neutrality, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and net zero goals.

No. Offsetting should be the final step after you’ve reduced emissions as much as possible. It’s a complementary action to address unavoidable emissions, not a substitute for making direct reductions.

Reputable offset projects are independently verified under recognised standards (like Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard), ensuring that emissions reductions are real, measurable, and permanent. Always look for projects with transparent reporting.

Carbon offset projects either reduce emissions (e.g., renewable energy or energy efficiency projects) or remove carbon from the atmosphere (e.g., tree planting or soil carbon storage). By investing in these projects, you help balance out your unavoidable emissions.

No. Offsets vary in quality depending on the project type, certification standards, and how well the emissions reductions are verified. It’s important to choose credible, accredited projects to ensure real and lasting impact.

You can support a variety of projects, including reforestation, forest conservation, renewable energy, methane capture, clean cookstoves, and biodiversity protection. Each type offers unique environmental and social benefits.

Yes. Customers, investors, and stakeholders increasingly value climate action. Offsetting — as part of a credible net zero strategy, can enhance your reputation, build trust, and differentiate your brand in a competitive market.
