Carbon offsetting is a mechanism by which the impact of the emission of a ton of GHGs is neutralised through the implementation of an action elsewhere that will consume or reduce emissions by an equivalent ton of GHGs (learn more).
Benefits to Businesses

- Improve employee moral, reduce turnover and improve employee performance.
