Offsetting our emissions Australian Ethical offsets emissions by purchasing carbon credits in worthwhile projects. Emissions of 149.5 tCO2-e will be offset during FY15. Total emissions calculated include greenhouse gases emissions from energy and from travel. Projects that our carbon offset credits will assist are ‘Cookstove’ projects in Mali and Cambodia. The projects replace high polluting traditional cookstoves with fuel efficient stoves. Large volumes of wood and charcoal are required for the traditional cookstoves, which contribute to CO2 emissions from burning these fuels, but also increased desertification. The traditional stoves also contribute to indoor air pollution, which is linked to respiratory and eye diseases.
