Carbon Offsetting in the UK
- and around the world!

Carbon offsetting is the act of purchasing carbon credits in order to rebalance unavoidable residual GHG emissions. Rebalancing residual emissions is one way to achieve carbon neutrality under ISO 14068-1. As part of a holistic carbon reduction strategy, purchasing carbon credits can also support verified climate-mitigation projects (including carbon sequestration and emission avoidance) and long-term climate action efforts. 

In accordance with international and regional regulations, all claims related to carbon neutrality or offsetting must be transparent, evidence-based, and supported by certified carbon credits.

How We Can Help with Carbon Offsetting, Measurement and Reduction.

One Carbon World supports the use of high-quality carbon credits only as part of a comprehensive climate strategy grounded in science-based targets. As such, carbon credits allow organisations to address unavoidable residual emissions while they work on meaningful, long-term reductions within their value chains. 

At One Carbon World, we want to incentivise action. The use of carbon credits should never be adopted as an alternative to emissions reductions, but emissions reductions and carbon credits can go hand in hand: only reductions will mean your own organisational footprint is more sustainable, but carbon credits help accelerate impact -delivering reduced emissions or carbon sequestration elsewhere - today. They can work together as part of your journey toward net zero.  

Emission Calculation and offsetting: Our specialists can help accurately measure your organisation’s GHG emissions. We can also advise on further potential reductions in your activities, and for unavoidable, hard-to-abate emissions, we offer credible, certified carbon credits for your organisation. 

Transparency and Verification: All our carbon credits are sourced from internationally recognised standards (e.g., CDM, VCS, Gold Standard) and are accompanied by full traceability, third-party verification, and transparent retirement records.

Concerns about Greenwashing: Some carbon credit schemes have been criticised for failing to deliver their stated impact or for overstating their efficiency and performance. To ensure integrity and impact, due diligence is essential when selecting carbon credits, including careful consideration of project type, permanence, and third-party verification. That is why we take a robust stance on transparency and traceability. While some critics argue that offsetting can distract from long-term emissions reductions, when used correctly, high-quality carbon credits can support and complement genuine, measurable climate action.Guided by our organisational values, One Carbon World energetically opposes greenwashing and is committed to transparency, accountability, and adherence to recognised environmental standards. All claims we make are fully supported by verified data. Our initiatives are designed to deliver measurable, long-term impact, including robust measures for permanence and monitoring in our forest-based projects. Moreover, our practices are verified by independent third parties, aligned with international protocols, and supported by reputable certifications and partnerships, such as the UNFCCC. Transparent reporting and a holistic approach ensure that our solutions contribute meaningfully to environmental and social outcomes, demonstrating our genuine commitment to credible, science-based climate action.

Farrington Oils have worked closely with One Carbon World calculating our whole business carbon footprint on our journey to net zero. We have just finished our fifth year’s calculations, with the data becoming more accurate each year as we increase our knowledge in this whole new area. The results are only as good as the information entered in the first place and I feel confident we are able to supply better information each year to build up an accurate picture of what our company is doing and importantly, where we need to aim going forward in reducing emissions.
