Carbon Purging collaborates with companies and many other organizations to retire pollution permits. Whether you’re a nationally touring band, a school or college, or a major corporation, we can help you assess your footprint and then retire permits in lieu of what you can’t reduce. Using Carbon Purging to lower your carbon footprint shows your commitment to the environment and is great PR for your organization.

Using Carbon Purging as part of your environmental strategy demonstrates serious commitment to fighting global warming. There are many reasons why this is the most dynamic and credible approach to offsetting your unavoidable emissions, including:

Delivering a high degree of confidence in the quantity of the emission reduction.
It is always additional - the emissions that you prevent would certainly occur if you were not to retire the credits; and
There is no risk of fraud or double counting somewhere along the supply chain.
Carbon Purging can be used as part of a strategy to manage a corporate carbon footprint, or it could be bundled with products so customers can offset their own emissions.

Using Carbon Purging to offset all or part of the unavoidable emissions from your organization's operations sends a powerful message to your customers, staff and stakeholders. It is a clearly differentiated approach to emission reduction.

Link retirement of carbon credits to products. Each time your customer purchases a product, they can be given the option to retire allowances from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative or the EU Emission Trading Scheme and offset the emissions from manufacturing or using the product. This shows customers you're committed to making a difference and supporting them in addressing their own carbon footprints.
