Carbon Offsetting
Ecova Clad have partnered with iOffset an independently accredited organisation who support businesses to offset carbon to compensate for their emissions.
Trust and transparency are fundamental to Ecova Clad and iOffset which is why all carbon credits will presented on a public registry. The UN will support in the creation of authenticated certificates to provide reassurance that support is being used to fund projects to remove or avoid the release of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Carbon offsetting projects include renewable energy schemes such as wind, solar or hydro power plants and afforestation programmes. These projects are verified and accredited by the world’s leading carbon registries such as The Gold Standard (WWF), Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and The United Nations.
Independent detailed calculations have been made to calculate the embodied carbon in Ecova Clad Timber Cladding. This includes all transportation from country of origin, mill operations, site electricity, site fuel, packaging, waste, and more. The result is an embodied carbon measure of kgCO2e per m2.
For every m2 of Ecova Clad Timber Cladding purchased we invest in projects around the world to reduce carbon emissions.
