Further reading: reducing your emissions
We always urge chambers to prioritise reducing their own emissions before adopting any offsetting projects, but if you are unable to do so, we encourage you to review The Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting. Follow their principles to ensure that your offsetting projects are impactful and ethical.
