How do organisations quantify the environmental impact of their carbon offset projects?

Organisations quantify the environmental impact of carbon offset projects through various factors such as a carbon analysis. They evaluate the emissions reduction potential of the project, considering factors such as project type (eg reforestation/afforestation), location, and implementation methods. Carbon offset calculations involve estimating the amount of carbon dioxide emissions that will be avoided or removed by the project. These calculations are then verified and validated by third-party organisations to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the emissions reduction claims. DGB Group’s impact is measured in hectares of degraded land restored and the quality of life of people positively influenced. All our projects are independently verified to ensure their impact and quality. Our projects also offer many environmental and socio-economic advantages in addition to carbon mitigation, making them truly impactful.
