The world of carbon offsetting can feel hard to navigate.

There are a lot of new terms and phrases to get your head around – from scope 3 emissions to carbon credit to additionality.

And there are important decisions to be made about your approach to carbon offsetting – is your company compensating for an annual carbon footprint? Or using offsetting towards a net zero target? What kind of carbon projects make sense for you support? What price of carbon does your budget allow? And so on, and so on.

It’s a lot to take on.

So, we created a carbon offsetting guide for businesses as a starting point.

The guide covers everything you need to know to get started with carbon offsetting as a company, in one easy-to-access place. That includes key questions like:

• What actually is carbon offsetting? And what’s the lifecycle of a carbon credit?

• What different types of carbon projects are there? From reforestation to direct air capture and everything in between

• What’s the difference between emissions avoidance and carbon removal projects?

• With so many low-quality carbon projects out there, how can you tell a credible carbon offset project from a dodgy one?

• How can businesses maximise the impact of their offsetting? An introduction to the Oxford Offsetting Principles

• How do you actually buy carbon credits as a business?
