How to calculate & remove your carbon emissions
Identify & Measure
This is the first step for you to identify your organisation's environmental footprint. Answer questions in the form about your business' carbon emissions. It's quick and easy.
Learn & Reduce
We help you remove your carbon emissions through certified trees and carbon credits verified by Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) programme.
Offset & Showcase
After calculating and reducing your business' carbon footprint, you can showcase and tell this impactful story with a personalised certificate showing your positive impact.
What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is the entire amount of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and methane) produced by human actions. According to pawprint.eco, the average carbon footprint per person in the UK is 12.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, and in the US, it's 21 tonnes.
By 2050, the average worldwide carbon footprint per year must fall to under 2 tonnes per person in order to have the best chance of preventing an increase in global temperatures of 2°C.
Why should you measure your carbon footprint?
Worldwide greenhouse gas emissions have escalated to record levels. Without action to reverse this trend, the consequent rise in global temperature has the potential to lead to catastrophic climate change.
The UN Paris Agreement agreed to limit warming to 1.5°C, which requires significant changes across the global economy.

Why calculating your company's carbon footprint matters
“From the very beginning of our business, we have adopted a strict protocol for the management of the process. We carefully review our project collaborators and suppliers before we deliver any service to you. While each of our projects is validated to international standards with VCS, the ongoing management of our carbon offset project portfolio is fully traceable. DGB can support and help you to calculate and reduce your carbon emissions, from data collection to reduction strategies and offsetting measures."
