QUICK GUIDE

STEP 1

Calculate. Start calculating your business emissions with one of our convenient, online calculators. This can start at any given time. Ideally, emissions are calculated using information of the most recent full calendar (recommended) or fiscal year. The calculators are designed to be used without guidance. However, it is recommended to contact us when you start the process. We have some valuable tips for the calculation process and can simply support you best when communicating from the very beginning.

STEP 2

Offset. Once emission are determined, there are two options:

Emissions are offset by the business upfront and then collected via a mandatory (or optional) "carbon fee" which is added to the service / product sold (recommended), or
Emissions are offset only via an optional contribution by customers. Offset amount is therefore dependent on customer contributions.

STEP 3

Sell climate friendly products/services. CarbonBuddy will prepare material for your business depending on its eligibility and make materials available to you. If all emissions are offset, you will i.e. receive the "ClimateBuddy" label for your organization.

STEP 4

Start saving! CarbonBuddy is your energy expert. Offsetting is the first step to become a climate friendly business. However, our goal is to support you in reducing your energy consumption. This will result in reduced spending in energy while also reduce your offset needs. We want you to stop wasting energy because it's bad for your bottom line, for your health, for the environment and future generations. Stop wasting - Start saving - Stay in business.
