How does it work?
The first step is to calculate your carbon footprint for a period of one year based on your company's parameters. These include electricity consumption, vehicle fleet, number of employees and much more. At Zero Emission, we have a personalised approach to every client and collect relevant data according to the specific focus of each company. Whether your focus is tech, mining or tourism, we will be able to correctly asses and offset your carbon footprint.
The carbon footprint calculator was designed by a team of experts on the subject of carbon offseting, as a part of a Europian Union study in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh. It is the most advanced form of calculating your carbon footprint.
After calculating the carbon footprint and hence the environmental burden, we calculate the necessary amount of seedlings needed to reduce it. Important steps also include the selection of tree typology, density and the environment where they are going to be planted in order to maximise positive impact on the environment.
Each company will receive a paper and electronic certificate. The certificates are issued according to the highest standards of the European Union and are a valid carbon offset in all countries that form part of the Kyoto Protocol. The certificates can be used by the company as a carbon offset validation for regulatory organs, in brick-and-mortar operations as well as on the web and social media.
Companies that choose to reduce their entire carbon footprint will also be listed on the Carbon Neutral Company Register. In the case of big polutors, a company that is carbon neutral pays significantly lower taxes and fees to governmental regulatory organs. Even if the company is small and doesn’t produce such quantities of CO2, offsetting is still a valid way of making the world a better place and your company a better company in the eyes of your consumers and partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
The carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide that our activities release into the atmosphere. Each of us has a carbon footprint of a different amount and this is affected by the amount and type of our activities.
The carbon footprint is calculated based on the inputs to activities that produce carbon dioxide. These are activities that require the combustion of fossil fuels. The calculation itself consists of identifying such activities, measuring the activities and converting them to Co2 equivalent.
Before we start planting, it is very important to choose the right planting space. We focus on places where we can predict with certainty the beneficial impact on the environment. This is followed by the selection of suitable planting material and finally planting, which is carried out by professionally trained staff to ensure that the seedlings take as long as possible.
Offsetting is the compensation of the carbon footprint. In practice, it means reducing the carbon footprint that has already been produced by offsetting it with measures that ensure we store or retain the same amount of carbon in the atmosphere.
In recent years, consumers pay increased attention to product sustainability and this is a growing trend. Today, sustainability is the main subject and the carbon credits market currently worth 1,7 trillion USD is predicted to grow 25x its current value by 2050. Contrary to the misconseption that sustainability comes at a financial cost, it can actually drive economic growth and profitability. Companies that advocate sustainable solutions are often prefered to other less ecological alternatives.
