Carbon Offset

Energy-Intensive Business Carbon Offset (Per Employee)

$959.99 / year

A 2019 report found that 37% of consumers prefer and are willing to pay up to 5% more for environmentally friendly products!(1) Additionally, the report found that a majority of U.S. consumers feel that the actions of companies are more important for environmental change than are government regulations. This is your call to act.

You are about to take an important first step toward running your business in a sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner. Voluntary carbon offset is something that is extremely honorable and it will become commonplace in the years to come.

Each annual subscription will allow Green Future to plant enough trees to offset the carbon emissions of one employee of your business(2). Please select the appropriate number of employees at checkout. No one from Green Future will come to audit your payroll, but dishonesty here only reduces your benefit to the environment. 

This option is for small businesses where employees have carbon emissions that are up to four times the emissions of an average U.S. resident(2). This could be due to constant use of motor vehicles, for example a business wholly based on shipping products long distances, or a large farming operation. Keep in mind that this can only be a rough estimate and a margin of error is included(2). 

Each year, this offset is guaranteed to result in the planting per employee of at least 580 trees on 1 acre of new forest in the Midwest United States. That is an area of forest nearly the size of a football field per employee each year. A 15-employee business using this option would plant 8,700 trees on 15 acres each year!

You will receive:

  • A digital certificate of your carbon offset
  • Program status updates via email
  • Support and contact with Green Future
  • A link to order Green Future merchandise & physical marketing materials 
  • A customized article for public release 

(see below for more details)

 

Enter the name that you would like appear on your certificate of carbon offset (e.g. “Smith’s Coffee Shop” or “Ellen Smith, Founder, Smith Coffee Co.”). Please do not use quotation marks or any punctuation that you do not want to appear on the certificate.

Energy-Intensive Business Carbon Offset (Per Employee, Annual)

 

Year after year, businesses are becoming more conscious of the need to reduce carbon emissions in order to limit the effects of climate change. This not only affects consumers’ actions in day-to-day life, but also influences how and where they buy, as well as the feeling they get while doing so.

A 2019 report found that 37% of consumers prefer and are willing to pay up to 5% more for environmentally friendly products!(1) Additionally, the report found that a majority of U.S. consumers feel that the actions of companies are more important for environmental change than are government regulations.

2 Emissions are based on the average carbon emissions of one individual in the United States and sourced from The World Bank [Accessed here: CO2 Emissions (metric tons per capita) – United States | Data (worldbank.org) ] An approximate 30% margin of error is included to allow for above average emissions or below average tree growth and survivability. This means we plant 30% more trees than the average it would take to offset your emissions.
