Compensation
based on figures
Compensation based on known emissions
A company can compensate for its emissions based on its known emissions. Typically, the aim is to plant trees so that their lifecycle compensation effect matches the emissions of the company for a specific year. It’s important to note, however, that the company cannot call its operations carbon neutral. This is because the carbon sequestration caused by trees does not occur at the same time as the emissions. Planting trees often seeks a broader significance and impact than just compensating for emission tons, and the action communicates more about the company’s values.
The forests are FSC certified
Tree planting has significance not only for climate impact but also for the overall well-being of nature. Forests created through planting are FSC-certified, meaning that their management considers the well-being of the forest and nature by adhering to developed criteria. You can read more about it, here.
The compensation effect of trees
The calculated amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by a tree planted in a peat bog during its lifecycle is 600kg (0.6 tons). By dividing the amount of emissions to be offset (in tons) by 0.6, the required number of seedlings to be planted can be obtained. You can read more about this topic in the report from the Natural Resources Institute Finland, here.
It’s worthwhile to communicate the undertaken compensation actions to the company’s stakeholders in an interesting and credible manner. We have accumulated extensive experience from various customer projects and can assist with communication-related matters as well.
The impacts of collaboration can be communicated through a dedicated customer page created for that purpose. The page explains why the customer has chosen to participate in the project and the collaboration’s impact on the climate in numerical terms.
If you’re considering whether tree planting could also fit into your operations, feel free to contact us, and we’ll discuss it together!
