Offset by Tonnes

If you know the amount of CO2 emissions you would like to offset, select one of our Offset by Tonnes projects to achieve it

Offset by tonnes 1

Tree-Nation is an authorized distributor of carbon credits, which are units equivalent to the removal or avoidance of one tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from our atmosphere. If you have calculated your CO2 footprint and would like to offset it, we offer the option to do so on either a one-time or recurring basis.

You can choose to offset with the following certification programs:

Note: The CCB and REDD+ standards are always linked to VCS. Projects cannot be purchased solely under CCB or REDD+, as they serve as complementary certifications to VCS.

Our value-add: twinning

To enhance the impact of your carbon offset, Tree-Nation has implemented a unique approach called Twinning. Twinning applies specifically to VCS-certified projects and ensures that, in addition to the CO₂ offset provided through these projects, we also plant new trees as part of a reforestation initiative. This means that when you offset with a VCS project, you contribute to both the conservation of mature forests and the planting of new trees, which will sequester at least an additional tonne of CO₂ over their lifetime.
