Carbon Offsets.

Offsets are subtracted to determine net CO2 emissions. Offsets must be real, permanent, and verified. They must also be used to offset direct or indirect GHG emissions, and can be used to meet voluntary GHG reduction goals. While offsets do not mean your organization or product has zero emissions or impact on the environment, it shows that by putting carbon on your balance sheet, you are holding your organization accountable to decarbonize faster.

You can purchase additional GHG emissions reductions or removals through Carbon Offsets. This might be attractive if you are wanting to market an emissions-free product, or to address your organization Carbon footprint. Tracking and retiring the environmental attribute is required to make claims. Carbon Offsets can only be used once—which creates demand for more offset projects to be developed.
