Carbon Compensation

What is carbon compensation?

• Carbon compensation involves a company buying a volume of voluntary carbon units reflective of their associated carbon emissions.
• The units purchased are an investment into a recognised and accredited CO2 saving project.
• This means our customers can purchase carbon compensated diesel and offset their carbon emissions accredited to their diesel volume.

WP Group’s carbon compensation scheme

• We are offering our customers the opportunity to buy carbon compensated fuel products from us (Diesel, Gasoil, Kerosene, Petrol).
• When our customers place an order for their fuel requirement, they can buy our carbon compensated fuel product to offset the carbon associated with the fuel volume ordered.
• We then invest in a project on behalf of our customer and purchase the required number of carbon units to offset the volume. The units are then retired and our customer is provided with a full confirmation pack with all relevant documentation and certification relating to their carbon compensation.

Verified global projects

• We invest in new projects globally on behalf of our customers to compensate carbon from diesel spend.
• We ensure we work with new long term, well-funded, voluntary projects that are authenticated to the highest level.
• Our chosen standards include:

– Verified Carbon Standard (VCS)

– Gold Standard

– Climate Action Reserve
