Our Partners
Voluntary woodland carbon capture can relate to all or part of an organisation’s carbon footprint - below are some examples of what some of our partners have done.
Carbon capture can be done in a variety of ways: for example on behalf of your customers (e.g. The Green Insurance Company’s motor policies are sold pre-loaded with CO2 capture for their policy holder's annual driving emissions), or just to take care of your own operational footprint (e.g. as in the case of sofa.com - taking care of office, supply chain and delivery emissions).
