Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
FIE has partnered with ClimateCare (https://climatecare.org/) since 2012 to tackle the impact associated with the business travel of our London, Dublin, and US-based staff and offset our CO₂ emissions. ClimateCare is an organization that offsets global greenhouse gas emissions on behalf of companies and individuals. These offsets are made through a range of projects around the world that not only make real reductions in carbon emissions, but also make a difference to people’s lives in some of the world’s least developed countries.
In 2016, FIE offset 109.11 tonnes of CO2 at a cost of £818.31. FIE also added our US-based team to the ClimateCare scheme, including their business travel in our 2016 reporting; they will be included in all future offsetting reporting.
