Carbon emissions offsetting

We are committed to offsetting unavoidable carbon emissions and are carbon neutral. Our 2019 and 2020 carbon footprint was audited and offset by BeZero Carbon. The offsetting portfolio is risk-weighted and includes rigorously verified projects, with more credits acquired than recommended by industry guidelines. Our 2021 emissions from operations were offset by Carbon Footprint.
