Carbon offsetting entails buying carbon credits for each tonne of carbon we are unable to reduce. These pay for an equivalent tonne of carbon to be reduced somewhere else in the world.

Our chosen Carbon Smart project neutralises the methane emissions from abandoned mines, ensuring that these harmful gases do not reach the atmosphere (methane has a global warming potential 23 times as harmful as CO2).

In order to make a difference to the environment we have set the following challenging objectives.

The Winstonmead Group’s Objectives

To reduce and offset CO2 emissions from the whole operation
To anticipate growing market concern for green credentials
To understand and manage carbon emissions
