Planting habit recipe #OffsetTonnes

Calculate your CO2 footprint and offset it on a regular basis with third-party carbon offsets.

Recommended for: Companies that have already assessed their CO2 emissions or wish to offset a specific amount of CO2 looking for third-party certified CO2 credits.

Concept details:
When you have the number of tonnes of CO2 you would like to offset, you choose a project to buy CO2 credits from.
At Tree-Nation we never offer CO2 offsets without trees. While new-planted trees are already included in the Tree-Nation certification and the Plan Vivo certification, this is not the case for the VCS certification. This is why, for VCS credits, Tree-Nation will retire these credits for you and supplement your offset with newly planted trees in selected reforestation projects from Tree-Nation. So for each tonne of CO2 VCS offset you purchase, Tree-Nation will also plant a certain amount of trees in your company forest. Those trees will compensate for at least another tonne of CO2 while they are growing during their lifespan of 20-30 years. This means your funding will protect existing trees and also plant new trees.

Win-win-win:

• Win for the planet: By offsetting CO2 emissions with carbon credits, your company is actively supporting projects that conserve forest carbon stocks and promote sustainable forest management. These credits help to preserve vital habitats, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the promotion of sustainable development. In addition, with the tree-planting done by Tree-Nation, you are multiplying your impact, enhancing overall ecosystem health.
• Win for the people: you are providing sustainable livelihoods for local communities around the planting sites.  There is improved well-being, economic benefits, increased climate resilience, and enhanced environmental education. It creates a positive impact on society by fostering a sense of community, improving quality of life, and building a sustainable future for all.
• Win for your company: it allows your company to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and environmental and social responsibility. It enhances your company's reputation and credibility, attracting environmentally-conscious customers, investors, and partners. Additionally, it helps the company align with global sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.
