Why today:

Why are you waiting for some-one else to solve the problem?

Companies that can demonstrate strong credentials sell more products. This is even more important in tough financial climates. Strong businesses that can put out green products that give them the edge over competitors have the advantage.

Example: 2 hotels have conference rooms, one hotel explains that all their conference rooms are carbon neutral, while the other has no green rooms. Which one is Al Gore going to pick!

Which one demonstrates your values! Every small item is a reflection on our business telling our customers about us.

What does your company entrance say about your environmental credentials? Need some help then give us and our expert team a call.

What if I can not offset all my business today?

3 Step Plan:

1) Measure carbon footprint today

2) Select part of your business (e.g. business travel) or products (Carbon Neutral Leasing) to carbon offset

3) Develop a carbon reduction program

Thousands of consumers search the Internet every day for carbon neutral products.

Working with your business

Planning your offsetting strategy with us means your trees will be planted right here in Britain, so you can actually see the woodlands being established. As a result, you know it's going straight to work against climate change.

Independent auditing

Want to know that your commitment to carbon offsetting is working? Before you begin to offset your residual footprint, we encourage you to seek advice from an auditing company such as the Carbon Trust. They're an independent, government-funded organisation that helps businesses and public sector organisations cut their carbon emissions. The Carbon Trust can determine exactly what you need to do to offset your emissions, and we can help neutralise your residual footprint.

Measurable results

At Carbon Forestry we offer you a long-term plan to offset your carbon emissions. We use a valuation model to calculate the carbon soaked up for each individually designed woodland.

Setting the standard

Once your new woodland has been planted, you'll be able to use our kitemark and certificate to show you're committed to helping combat climate change.

The decline of new planting in Britain

In recent years there's been a steep decline in the amount of British woodland, and we're passionate about turning that around. We work not only to offset carbon emissions, but also in partnership with other woodland organisations to fulfil our commitment to protect and restore our British woodlands.

This graph shows just how steeply planting has declined in recent years. This is having a negative effect on the environment, both locally and globally.
