Carbon offsetting is a responsible way to neutralise the carbon emissions we cannot avoid creating at home, when travelling or in business.
Carbon Passport can help you by providing carbon offsets from projects which prevent or reduce the release of greenhouse gases.
The quality of a carbon offset is very important. Quality refers to the degree of certainty that a carbon reduction you have paid for actually happens. Some carbon offsets are based on carbon reductions which would have happened anyway or claim reductions that cannot be properly verified.
Our offsets are fully Kyoto-compliant. These are the only type of credits that meet the UK government's offsetting code of practice.
Our offsets:
- Are Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) which are internationally recognised credits
- Originate from Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) carbon offset projects in the developing world which have passed the most stringent independent evaluation, verification and audit processes
- Are calculated using carbon footprint calculators that follow the UK government's guidelines for measuring CO2
Offsetting costs less than you might think as we use highly efficient carbon reduction projects and keep our overheads low. An internal UK flight can be offset for as little as £3. When you offset your carbon footprint with Carbon Passport you can choose to buy a car sticker or fridge magnet and will receive a personalised offset certificate like this.
We also guarantee that an exceptionally high proportion of your money goes to buying the carbon credits.
