You can calculate the carbon emissions certain activities within your business are responsible for, and this can be a good guide to the carbon footprint of your business. The cost to offset your carbon footprint can be out weighed several times over by the benefits to your business. Planting trees or sponsoring trees is the best way to offset carbon emissions. We encourage each business to sponsor 10 – 20 trees minimum per employee on our business packages page.
Every individuals’ action is important, and the involvement of businesses equally so. A business by sponsoring trees to be planted, indirectly increases the awareness of the employees, customers, competition and suppliers etc. Individuals are also important and should chose to buy first from those companies who are environmentally friendly, increasing the pressure on them to be so.
For now, it is not global warming now that is the problem as much as extreme weather conditions. Seasons are shortening, flooding is increasing and moving along with areas of extreme drought. It is possible to reverse the global climate crisis but it takes many of us to act, and encourage others to do the same.
Most figures used within our calculator have been provided by DEFRA but others need estimating. For an accurate calculation of carbon footprints, a full audit needs to be conducted. Check out our simple business packages or contact us for a tailor made solution.
