CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATION AND OFFSETTING
_edited.png)
Awareness of the impacts of climate change has grown and more people want to act responsibly both as individuals and as communities. Calculating the carbon footprint helps understand the environmental impacts of our actions and contributes to safeguarding the living conditions for future generations.
​
Carboreal collaborates with Finnish experts and can recommend reliable partners to assist with carbon footprint calculations. To improve the transparency of offsetting and calculations, we suggest having a third party handle the assessment.
​
However, if using an external expert is not feasible or practical, we also offer our own calculation service, which provides precise and valuable estimates. With this information, we can plan effective strategies to reduce the carbon footprint and support the achievement of carbon neutrality goals.
​
Scientific calculation
​
The calculation of carbon sequestration is based on extensive proprietary and Finnish scientific data and has been verified by an external impartial entity. Scientific evidence can also be provided on behalf of the client if necessary.

Calculating and offsetting the carbon footprint is beneficial for several reasons:
Mitigating climate change
A carbon footprint measures the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary cause of climate change. By reducing your carbon footprint, you can help mitigate global warming and its negative effects, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and biodiversity loss.
Understanding environmental impact
Calculating a carbon footprint helps individuals and organizations understand the environmental impact of their activities. This information can encourage more sustainable choices and practices, such as improving energy efficiency, using renewable energy sources, and promoting sustainable consumption.
Economic savings
Reducing energy and resource consumption can lead to significant financial savings. For example, energy efficiency measures can lower energy costs for both households and businesses.
Enhancing competitiveness
For businesses, reducing the carbon footprint can provide a competitive advantage. Consumers and investors increasingly value environmentally friendly practices, and many companies are responding to this demand by reducing their emissions and marketing their products and services as sustainable alternatives.​
Compliance with legislation
In many countries, stringent emission limits and targets have been set to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Calculating your carbon footprint helps ensure that businesses and organizations comply with these regulations and avoid potential fines and other penalties.
Responsibility and social pressure
Awareness of climate change impacts among individuals and communities has increased, raising the pressure to act responsibly. Calculating and reducing your carbon footprint demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility and can enhance your reputation and stakeholder relationships.
Securing the future
Reducing your carbon footprint is essential for safeguarding the living conditions of future generations. By lowering emissions, we can protect natural resources, reduce climate risks, and create a more sustainable and resilient planet for the future.
For these reasons, calculating and reducing your carbon footprint is crucial for working towards a more sustainable and responsible world.
