CO2 Balance
Green Compliance works alongside CO2balance.com to help our clients minimise their carbon emissions and offset the unavoidable residue. Offsetting works by investing funds in sequestration or energy efficiency projects that absorb or prevent the release of CO2. This is done by investing in projects that save energy emissions (efficiency-based offsets) or that absorb atmospheric CO2 (forestry-based offsets).
CO2balance.com is unlike any other provider of Voluntary Carbon Offsets as all its projects are fully additional, transparent and verified.
