    What is carbon offsetting?

    Purchasing carbon credits is a way for businesses to address emissions they are unable to eliminate. Carbon credits are certificates representing quantities of carbon emissions that have been avoided or removed from the atmosphere.
     
    A carbon credit is a tradable, certified emissions unit. Each carbon credit that is generated represents one tonne of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) that was not emitted, or that was removed from the atmosphere compared to baseline emissions.
