Taking responsibility for your carbon footprint is a powerful step. Purchasing high-integrity carbon credits funds projects proven to reduce or remove emissions. While reducing your own emissions is the ultimate goal, financial support is essential to compensate for unavoidable impact today and accelerate the journey to a global Net Zero.

Our platform makes it easy to take credible climate action in minutes — perfect for businesses who want transparency and control.
Work directly with our world-class consultants to build a high-impact, bespoke carbon credit portfolio tailored to your strategic goals.
The voluntary carbon market is at a turning point. Demand for credible, high-integrity credits is rising as regulators, investors and customers raise the bar on corporate climate action.

About our teamCarbon reduction and removal is just one part of a credible strategy. We're the only partner who can guide you from your first footprint calculation to achieving our robust, verified Net Zero Standard.
The Net Zero StandardCarbon credits still fund vital climate projects, but credible organisations now describe them differently. Rather than claiming to cancel emissions, they measure and reduce first, then use credits to take responsibility for what remains and contribute to climate solutions. New EU rules and ISO 14068-1 are accelerating this shift.
Read our guide to carbon offsetting to see what’s changed, how to choose high-quality projects and what you can honestly say after buying credits.
Taking responsibility for residual emissions is a vital part of climate action. For organisations ready to take the next step, the Carbon Footprint Net Zero Standard provides a complete, credible framework for your entire journey — the definitive pathway for businesses serious about achieving their climate goals with integrity.
A carbon credit is a verified certificate representing one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) reduced or removed from the atmosphere by a climate project. Each credit has a unique serial number on a public registry and is retired when used, so it can never be sold twice.
Credits are issued under recognised standards such as Gold Standard, Verra (VCS) and the Climate Action Reserve. Independent auditors check each project's emission reductions or removals against its approved methodology before any credits are issued.
CRISP is Carbon Footprint’s free, independent rating system for carbon credit projects. It scores each project on additionality, permanence, measurement and verification, leakage and ICVCM CCP status, so you can see its strengths and risks before you buy.
The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) sets the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs), a global benchmark for high-integrity carbon credits. CCP-approved credits come from methodologies the ICVCM has assessed as meeting that benchmark.
When you buy through the Carbon Marketplace, your credits are retired on the project's registry in your name. You receive an instant certificate and a public Proof of Impact link that you can share with customers and stakeholders.
Prices depend on project type, location, vintage and quality. On our Carbon Marketplace, reduction credits typically start from around £4.50 per tonne, while removal credits typically cost from £7.50 per tonne for nature based projects to over £100 per tonne for Biochar projects. You can compare live prices for every project before you buy.

Yes, they describe the same verified unit, but "carbon offsetting" describes one way of using credits, and that language is changing. Read our guide to carbon offsetting to learn more.
