·This is how carbon offset works
Financing sustainability projects
that offset carbon emissions
Ecommit collaborates with innovative sustainability projects in the Netherlands and beyond. These projects offset carbon emissions through various means such as technology, agriculture, or reforestation. Your company can contribute to these initiatives, making carbon offsetting a part of your sustainability plans.
Make carbon offsetting part of your sustainability efforts
Do you want to address your carbon emissions? Whether is is for the climate, to comply with the CSRD, or to show that you are actively working on sustainability, reducing and avoiding business emissions is essential. However, this often requires time and adjustments. That is why offsetting emissions is also important, and you can start today. By purchasing carbon credits, you contribute to a project that removes carbon from the air.
How many carbon credits you buy, and thus how many emissions you offset, is entirely up to you. The sustainability projects that ecommit partners with are certified and the carbon credits are verified and registered. Your offsetting is real, and we provide everything you need to share this with your network.
Projects
What are sustainability projects?
Sustainability projects contribute to a better living environment. Ecommit collaborates with sustainability projects both domestically and internationally that offset carbon emissions. These projects use technology, agriculture, reforestation, or other innovative methods to remove carbon from the air. Before we invest in a project, we conduct thorough research. The project must be certified, and the carbon credits must be registered. This ensures that we provide your company with a reliable and effective way to offset carbon emissions.
Start offsetting
Starting with carbon offsetting
You can start offsetting carbon as big or as small as you like. As a first step, you can (globally) map your company's emissions. We can help you with that. But it is not strictly necessary to calculate first. You can base your offsetting on the amount you want to spend, a percentage of your turnover or the average emissions in the market. You can also choose to offset specific emissions, such as from your vehicle fleet or factory hall, or pass on a compensation amount to your customers or clients. Anything is possible. We think along with you to find specific solutions for your company.
Offsetting made to measure
Customized carbon offsetting
As each company approaches its sustainability differently, at ecommit you choose the method of offsetting that suits you. For example, it is possible to offset specific emissions, such as from your vehicle fleet, factory hall, business activity or event. You can also use the amount you want to spend as a starting point, or the amount of carbon you want to offset. You arrange it easily online! Another way is to charge your customers for each product or service sold. This last option cannot be arranged online, but please contact us: together we will find a suitable form.

Ecommit helps you choose the way of carbon offsetting that suits your company. Furthermore, we can advise you on any question about carbon emissions and we only sell carbon credits from certified and registered projects. This way you can be sure that the project is continuously monitored and that it actually ensures carbon removal. Everything you need to process the carbon credits in the accounts, we provide ready-made. We also provide sustainability information that you can communicate to your network.
