Offsetting
What you need to know
Offsets are available from a wide range of projects, which either avoid emissions or remove existing emissions from the atmosphere. Best practice is for your organisation to follow the Oxford Offsetting Principles and to ensure that any offsets you purchase are from a scheme approved by the International Carbon Reduction and Offsetting Alliance.
To achieve carbon neutrality, you will need to offset your annual emissions, as well as having a carbon management plan in place, and have your neutrality validated by preparing a PAS2060 statement.

How does offsetting move you closer to Net Zero?
Net Zero requires that we all move closer to zero emissions, but to cover the “Net” element, we need to understand how we are going to mitigate the impact of the remaining emissions, either now or further down the line of our strategy.
Offsetting covers that part of your journey.
