Offset Emissions
A mitigation plan combined with the compensation of remaining emissions ensures an effective and immediate positive environmental impact.
Why Offset Emissions?
Emission offsetting allows companies to support projects that either prevent the emission of greenhouse gases or capture carbon, while also restoring degraded areas and promoting the development of local communities. These projects, such as forest conservation and reforestation, contribute directly to mitigating climate change and preserving ecosystems.
At Carbonext, offsetting is seen not only as a way to neutralize remaining emissions but also as an opportunity for companies to invest in tangible environmental impact actions. Throughout the decarbonization journey, our primary focus is to reduce internal emissions. However, offsetting provides an additional path for companies looking to support the environment while progressing toward their climate goals.
By choosing Carbonext, your company can engage in projects aligned with its sustainability goals, actively contributing to environmental preservation and social development.
Beneficts
Offsetting emissions offers companies an effective way to contribute directly to climate change mitigation while advancing their sustainability targets. By supporting projects that prevent or capture greenhouse gas emissions, such as forest conservation and reforestation, your company can go beyond internal reductions and strategically amplify its environmental impact.
Key benefits of investing in carbon offsetting include:
Meeting climate targets
Offsetting helps neutralize residual emissions, especially those that cannot be eliminated immediately, keeping your company aligned with decarbonization goals such as those set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Support for environmental preservation and social development
Investing in offset projects not only protects ecosystems but also promotes the restoration of degraded areas and the sustainable development of local communities.
Regulatory compliance
With growing regulatory demands regarding carbon emissions, offsetting can help your company anticipate future laws and ensure compliance with evolving environmental policies.
Strengthening of corporate reputation
Companies that commit to emission offsetting demonstrate environmental responsibility, improving public perception and strengthening relationships with ESG-focused stakeholders and investors.
Offset Formats
Emission offsetting is a complementary way for companies and individuals to support forest protection and the development of communities integrated with nature. It can take various forms, ranging from quick, easily implementable solutions to long-term, co-developed projects.
Long-term contracts

Gin Araporu
Gin Arapuru is a Brazilian gin crafted in small batches that celebrate the essence of Brazil. In addition to supporting artists who channel their creativity to address socioeconomic challenges in their communities, the brand is a Carbonext partner and offsets the product’s emissions through high-integrity carbon credits.
We calculate all emissions throughout the gin’s production process and offset the equivalent amount, ensuring the product contributes to protecting the Amazon Rainforest and supporting the socioeconomic development of forest-dependent communities.
The product carries a Carbon Neutral label, verifiable both on the bottle and the product website.
Uber
Did you know you can take Uber rides with CO₂ offsetting? The Comfort Planet category was created to enable offset rides in Brazil. In partnership with Uber, we developed a system that calculates emissions based on route, vehicle, and fuel used.
This case illustrates how technology can help companies reduce Scope 3 emissions by offering customers a chance to participate in emissions reduction for just a few cents per ride.
Pacco
Pacco is a company that produces high-quality thermal bottles and reusable utensils designed to generate a positive impact for people and the planet. Its products help reduce waste, conserve natural resources, save energy, and encourage good habits.
United by a shared mission of preservation, Pacco and Carbonext created a system to calculate emissions from product delivery freight and subsequently offset those emissions.
The system is simple and allows Pacco to expand its environmental efforts.
APIs and Technology
Proprietary APIs for product development
Carbonext’s tech team develops APIs and integrations tailored to your company’s specific needs, facilitating emissions calculation and compensation.
Corporate Event Offset
Planning a sustainable event goes beyond reducing resource use. We encourage companies to offset the remaining emissions from their corporate events, offering options for both the company and attendees to contribute to projects that reduce or capture carbon emissions in a simple, fast, and effective way.
Why offset?
Even events planned with maximum natural resource efficiency still generate carbon emissions. Offsetting these emissions is a way to mitigate environmental impact and demonstrate your company’s commitment to sustainability.
That’s why we simplify this process, helping your company expand its reduction efforts easily and quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Carbon credits are certificates that represent the reduction or removal of one metric ton of carbon dioxide (CO₂), or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases (GHGs), from the atmosphere. They were created as a market-based tool to support climate change mitigation, allowing companies and organizations to offset their emissions by investing in projects that reduce carbon output.
These credits can be purchased by individuals, companies, or governments seeking to contribute to such initiatives. Each credit supports projects that prevent, reduce, or capture GHGs, encouraging actions that foster sustainability and environmental protection.
REDD+ is a global initiative aimed at mitigating climate change by encouraging developing countries to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. It also includes the conservation of forest carbon stocks, sustainable forest management, and the enhancement of carbon stocks. REDD+ projects generate carbon credits that can be purchased by individuals and businesses as part of their environmental impact reduction strategies. These credits help finance forest protection and restoration, contributing to biodiversity conservation and the sustainable development of local communities.
Verra is an organization that develops and manages global certification standards for sustainability projects, including the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). These standards are designed to ensure that carbon reduction and environmental conservation projects are robust, transparent, and verifiable, building trust and integrity in the carbon market.
Carbonext supports your company with a extensive approach that includes emissions inventories to identify the main sources of GHG emissions, and the development of customized decarbonization strategies.Your company can participate in the development of environmental projects such as REDD+, ARR, and ALM, benefiting from long-term contracts to generate carbon credits.
