Carbon Offsetting
What is Carbon Offsetting?
Each of our everyday actions consumes energy and produces carbon dioxide emissions e.g. taking holiday flights, driving our cars, heating or cooling our homes and offices. Carbon Offsets can be used to compensate for the emissions produced by funding an equivalent carbon dioxide saving somewhere else.
Is offsetting the solution to climate change?
Offsetting provides a mechanism to reduce GHG emissions in the most cost-effective and economically-efficient manner. Offsetting plays a vital role in combating climate change, but is not alone, the solution.
At Carbon Footprint, our belief is that climate change will only be addressed if each and every one of us takes responsible steps to REDUCE our CO2 emissions as much as possible and offset the remaining unavoidable emissions.
How are Carbon Footprint's offsets verified?
Carbon Footprint offer a full range of carbon offsets for customers to choose from. We have adopted a strict protocol for the management of our offsets and supply chain, from the inception of our business. We carry out careful due diligence of our project collaborators and suppliers before we offer any products to you.
Ongoing management of our carbon offset project portfolio is fully traceable. We keep detailed records of all purchases made through this website, along with a database of all offline sales (most of which are made to companies). We also have a monitoring system in place, which records when tree planting has occured or offsets have been retired, allowing offsets to be cross referenced with customer purchases.
