The scheme works by supporting planting partners around the world with their forestry programmes, and helping to get more people and businesses to take practical steps to tackle global warming. We have carefully chosen planting partners around over the world - we look for native forest projects with public access, and long term contracts which ensure the forests will stay forests for at least 99 years. Not all trees planted will survive (there's natural die-back and necessary thinning for proper forestry management) but the fact that this is long term forest means that all those who have dedicated trees will enjoy the woodland for generations to come

You will receive a certificate showing the trees that have been dedicated to you

What does CarbonNeutral® mean?
CarbonNeutral is the registered trademark of The CarbonNeutral Company. It is the point at which the equivalent amount of CO2 produced by a manufacturing process; distribution system and / or product use is equal to the amount being removed. It could be removed through the purchase of technology offset or forestry sequestration programmes. A CarbonNeutral programme involves assessments of carbon emissions, reductions of emissions at source, and 'offset' of unavoidable emissions.

Does carbon offset provide a solution to global warming?
On its own, carbon offset does not provide an answer to global warming but it does have a large part to play in the overall approach to carbon management. It provides the vital first step in engaging business and individuals to consider the implications of their CO2 emissions. As well as encouraging our clients to reduce emissions at source, we also help them offset their non-reducible emissions. Technology offsets are part of the reductions-at-source strategy. The characteristics of forestry offset are such that, in addition to being able to offset a specific project's CO2 emissions, over time it can also help re-absorb the existing high levels of atmospheric CO2.
