Carbon offsetting is a means of mitigating the harmful effects of unavoidable CO2 emissions by supporting projects that will absorb an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere.
There are a wide variety of projects that offer carbon offsetting potential, including sustainable woodland creation and schemes to improve energy efficiency.
At Ecology, we believe that carbon offsetting should not take the place of efforts to reduce the carbon that we emit in the first place. We closely monitor our carbon emissions and explore the most effective ways to control them, using offsetting as a secondary measure to help reduce any negative impact of our operations.
