Green Marine renews its carbon-neutral certification

May 26, 2023

For the fifth consecutive year, Green Marine has been certified as a carbon-neutral enterprise by Planetair, a highly respected carbon calculating and crediting organization.

With Planetair’s help, Green Marine determined and offset all of its 2022 greenhouse gas emissions generated by work-related travel (including daily commutes), infrastructure operations, waste management, electricity consumption, and paper use by all its employees. Green Marine purchased the equivalent of 40.6 tonnes of CO2 in Gold Standard certified carbon credits.

Here is the breakdown of the emissions generated in 2022 (compared with 2021, a year affected by the COVID-19 pandemic):
