At HIP Online Ltd, our belief is that climate change will only be addressed if each and every one of us takes responsible steps to REDUCE their CO2 emissions.  

We do realise that for some individuals, businesses and organisations, avoidance of all CO2 emissions will be almost impossible – in this case, Carbon Offsetting plays a vital role.

What is Offsetting ?

Each of our everyday actions consume energy and produce carbon dioxide emissions, e.g. taking holiday flights, driving our cars, heating or cooling our homes. Carbon Offsetting is a way of compensating for the emissions produced with an equivalent carbon dioxide saving.

How do I Offset ? 

The process of Carbon offsetting involves two steps – first a calculation of your carbon footprint.  The EPC is our prefered method and we are working closely with the Government to promote this.

The second step involves buying ‘carbon offset’ credits from emission reduction projects. Such projects will prevent / have already prevented or removed an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. Whilst planting trees will have benefits in the long term we are developing a scheme to support Carbon reduction programmes within homes in the UK. Not only does this have an immediate impact but it also benefits the home owners and helps th UK meet it's emmission targets.
