Carbon offset is to point to to the project to buy the same amount of carbon emissions, is used to compensate the remaining emissions.
Carbon trust is committed to speeding up to a sustainable low carbon economy transformation, therefore, we will be effective and meaningful way, only to meet the mission of the enterprise and product certification.
