Carbon Offsetting
Calculate and Offset your carbon footprint to become carbon neutral
There are three key steps to become carbon neutral. The first is to calculate / measure your carbon footprint; the second is to start reducing your emissions; and the final step is to offset any remaining emissions using high quality carbon offset projects.
We only provide the highest quality carbon offset projects that meet the leading international verification standards, suitable for all types of businesses and individuals.

What is a Carbon Offset?
Our everyday actions, at home or in the companies where we work, consume energy and produce carbon emissions, such as driving, flying and heating buildings. Carbon offsetting is used to compensate for your emissions by funding an equivalent carbon dioxide saving elsewhere.
We offer a range of carbon offset projects to international standards, including the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Gold Standard Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER) and Certified Emission Reductions (CER). All of which meet the Quality Assurance Standard for Carbon Offsetting following a footprint calculation on this web site and BSI's PAS 2060 specification on carbon neutrality.
Many of the carbon offsetting projects also provide wider benefits in addition to carbon reduction, such as biodiversity, education, jobs, food security and heath & well-being in developing countries.

How are Carbon Footprint Ltd's offsets verified?
Carbon Footprint offer a full range of high quality 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.
Our projects are verified against the international standards such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Gold Standard and Certified Emission Reductions.
Ongoing management of our carbon offset project portfolio is fully traceable and part of our ISO 9001 certification. 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 businesses). 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 to individual customer purchases.
Following a QAS approved carbon footprint calculation, all the carbon offsetting projects on this web site meet the requirements under the Quality Assurance Standard (QAS) for Carbon Offsetting. As part of this we are audited to ensure all offsets sold are retired on appropriate registries within 12 months of you purchasing.
