CP2476-24a Carbon Offsets

DCC has committed to offsetting an increasing proportion of its carbon emissions each year to 2030 from when it expects to achieve full carbon neutrality. This net zero by 2030 target is a corporate priority in the Council's Strategy. International carbon offsets are available on the market but this is not politcally acceptable and so we are looking for UK-based certified offsets from nautre-based solutions i.e. woodland creation or peatland restoration.
