Sustainability Policy - Carbon Offsetting
While our sustainability policy is aimed at reducing carbon emissions from our products and our activities to a minimum, there inevitably remain some emissions which need to be offset. At BuyEcoGreen we have voluntarily chosen to offset both emissions arising from our operations and progressively from the estimated life-cycle emissions from the products that we supply and the transport to the customer, so that you can order significantly carbon offset products.
