Placing an order is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through:
- Find a Project: Look through the categories and filters, or use the search bar, to find what you’re looking for. Review the project details to ensure it matches your criteria.
- Select a Quantity of CO2e: Use your footprint calculation software to work out how much CO2 to compensate.
- Enter the Details for your Certificate: When you complete your purchase we send you a certificate as proof of action. This can be customised with your own or someone else’s data. Eg you might like to compensate for work carried out on behalf of a customer, and thus enter their name and a note.
