White Knight Associates writes about the benefits of companies reducing their Carbon foot print.

White Knight Associates believe that by offsetting your business's carbon footprint you are making a positive, tangible statement to your employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders. Like you, they are all affected by climate change and will be more attracted, and loyal to, businesses which are committed to caring for the environment.

Green companies tend to be better managed, more efficient and more profitable than their rivals. Many of the most successful ones now recognise the clear business benefits of addressing environmental issues.

So what is Carbon Offsetting?

Everyday actions like driving a car, heating your home and office, transporting goods and even using your computer use energy and produce greenhouse gas emissions (such as carbon dioxide) which contribute to climate change.

You can compensate for your unavoidable emissions by buying carbon credits from an internationally verified project that makes an equivalent greenhouse gas saving. This is called ‘carbon offsetting’.

Is this a ‘cure’ for climate change?

Offsetting your carbon footprint will not reverse the effects already caused by your carbon dioxide emissions. The harm to the environment caused by these emissions cannot be undone. However, by saving an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide elsewhere, you can help to minimise the total global emissions.
