How to offset my business
Measure Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, then offset what you cannot yet cut — with an audit-ready certificate.
What drives the footprint
Credible corporate climate action starts with measurement across three scopes: direct emissions (Scope 1), purchased energy (Scope 2), and everything in your value chain (Scope 3) — which is usually the largest and most overlooked. A 25-person services firm often lands around 40–60 tonnes of CO₂e a year.
Reduce what you can, then offset the remainder with registry-traceable credits and an audit-ready certificate. Named retirement and an annual ESG summary make the claim defensible to finance teams and auditors.
Three steps, start to certificate.
25-person services SME: about 47 tCO₂e. Use our calculator for your exact number.
We recommend Mixed portfolio at $25/tonne for this use case — Verra VCS.
We buy the credits at wholesale, retire them on the public registry on your behalf, and email you a verifiable certificate.
Cut what you can before you offset.
Offsetting is for the emissions you can’t yet eliminate. A few practical ways to lower this footprint at source:
- →Switch to a renewable electricity contract (cuts Scope 2).
- →Set a travel policy favouring rail and virtual meetings.
- →Engage key suppliers on their emissions to tackle Scope 3.
Do you provide an ESG report?
Yes — business plans include an annual ESG summary with serial numbers and registry links.
Can the retirement be in our company name?
Named retirement is the default on all business plans.
How do we measure our company footprint?
Start with energy bills (Scope 1/2) and add business travel and key suppliers for Scope 3. Our business calculator gives a directional inventory; we can build a full one with you.
Can we make a “carbon neutral” claim?
We help you make accurate contribution claims backed by retired credits and reduction work, rather than unsupported blanket claims.
