Offsetting CO2

Offsetting CO2

 

It is no accident that everyone is talking about “eco-driving” and decreasing CO2 emissions. Firstly less CO2 emissions means less consumption of valuable resources. Furthermore, and most importantly, we need to think of future generations, in a time where pollution is becoming a real threat.

It is from this perspective that different ways of offsetting the CO2 emitted by companies have been established. Apart from the emissions trading scheme, it is possible to invest in ecological projects aimed at lowering CO2 emissions. These projects often take place in developing countries.

Today, there are two types of CO2 offset projects whose common aim is to eradicate CO2 levels in our atmosphere: by planting trees and through different climate-related projects such as wind farms.

There are several levels of offsetting CO2 emissions from your fleet. One of our agents would be delighted to tell you more about this. Arval has decided to offset all its CO2 emissions from its fleet.
