Offsetting with RBS
Carbon Offset options
At RBS, we are making carbon offsetting easy to understand and simple to purchase.
To start with, we have taken care of locating the right carbon offset projects for you - by selecting different types of projects from around the world.
We work with many types of projects, designed to save emissions or absorb an equivalent amount of CO2. They are independently checked to ensure they do make a difference. We have chosen projects that meet high standards, including some endorsed by the United Nations.
There are many reasons to choose RBS for carbon offsetting in your business. Here are several:
- Independent - every one of our projects is verified and certified by independent third parties.
- International - we select a range of projects based in different areas of the world.
- High quality - we only choose projects that we believe make a real difference in achieving carbon benefit. So you know your money will have an impact on your carbon footprint.
- Variety - we invest in various projects that cut pollution, encourage renewable energy and plant trees.
- Trust - RBS has developed a great service for your business.
We have selected a range of projects across the world and in different industries. All pass stringent independent checks to prove they are generating carbon benefit. Some of these projects are approved by the United Nations under the Kyoto Protocol.
Each project has an important goal - whether it's to cut down on CO2 pollution, inspire more use of renewable energy or plant more trees. For example, one of our projects works with communities and small farmers in developing countries who wish to restore degraded land and develop sustainable agricultural and forestry systems.
