Steps to becoming Carbon Neutral
Prepare your emission inventory
Identify activities which have emissions, takes around 15 minutes for most organisations when using our guided templates
Calculate emissions
Use basic metrics such as number of staff and yearly spend by expense account to populate the data input tool, no scientific knowledge required
Purchase off-sets
Select from government approved providers and purchase required credits to cover your emissions. As a very rough guide, the typical yearly cost for a 10-person IT services business is around $250
