The Green Insurance Company

Carbon offsetting

Carbon Offsetting is a great way to positively contribute to the environment. We at the Green Insurance Company proudly support several Carbon Offsetting projects in the UK.

The method of Carbon Offsetting that we currently support is the planting of trees to neutralise the harmful CO2 in the atmosphere.

How it works

The trees we plant will absorb CO2 through a process called photosynthesis, converting CO2 and water to oxygen and plant matter. The trees, in essence, breathe in CO2 through their leaves and bark, and breathe out the oxygen the world so badly needs. Therefore, the more trees we plant; the more CO2 we are offsetting.

Neutralise the impact

Our pledge as an environmentally friendly company is to neutralise all of your carbon emissions from your car each year you insure with us. We calculate how much carbon dioxide your car releases in a year and then balance this by allocating enough trees to absorb those emissions. Therefore, with each policy we sell, we are taking another step forward in our quest to help the environment.  

Our offset projects

We've got forestry projects popping up all over the country as we continue to offset our car insurance custmomer's Co2 emissions.

All of our projects are easily accessible to the public; why not take a look at what we've been working on?

How do I offset my emissions?

We'll make it really easy for you.  Our car insurance automatically includes 1 tonne offset of your car’s annual emissions* for as long as you remain a customer, and at no extra cost to you.  Why not get a quote to see just how competitive we are?

*1 tonne will only be offset if policy remains in force for 12 months
