How TerraPass helps businesses and organizations

Analyzing your carbon footprint

A TerraPass Carbon Balanced Business advisor will guide you through the entire process. We’ll analyze your business’ carbon footprint using information you provide about your business’ energy use, travel and commuting. You will then receive a report of your CO2 emissions from each area of your business, which in turn helps you identify ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Click here to contact an advisor.

Why you should purchase offsets for your business

Purchasing TerraPass offsets sends a strong message about your values to your employees, customers and stakeholders. People prefer to work with organizations they believe in. As one component of your environmental strategy, a TerraPass carbon offset program will provide your company with the unique ability to empower your customers and employees to take action on climate change.

Additionally, committing to purchasing carbon offsets for your business creates the right internal incentives to reduce your footprint over time. Each year, the conservation and efficiency measures that you implement will lower your carbon footprint, requiring you to purchase fewer offsets.

Where your money goes

TerraPass supports a portfolio of high quality independently validated projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Every reduction at every one of our projects gets verified by an accredited third party using the highest standards available. You can find more information about our project portfolio here.

 

How much it costs

The cost of your TerraPass offset purchase is determined by the size of your business’ carbon footprint. Businesses of the same size can have very different carbon footprints for many reasons, most notably if there are variances in the amount of air travel.

For many small businesses, you can expect a year's offset cost to be in the following ranges:

• 1-5 employees: $250 – $500
• 6-10 employees: $500 – $1,000
• 11-20 employees: $1,000 – $2,000
