Can businesses contribute to the Carbon Capital Fund to become carbon neutral?
Any business can contribute to the Carbon Capital Fund. Because NFF’s carbon calculator is a simplified tool designed for personal emissions, companies and organizations will require an alternate means of estimating their corporate carbon footprint. All projects will be designed to generate quality forest carbon offsets, meaning that they result in a true net carbon benefit to the environment as well as other social, environmental, and economic co-benefits. Winrock International, a non-profit organization that specializes in forest carbon measurement and monitoring, will evaluate each project and verify the carbon benefit. It is the company’s responsibility to determine whether or not the offsets can be used to achieve carbon neutrality.
