Carbon Neutral

We were able to reduce our carbon emissions by 15.2% initially in 2021 (compared to 2018), by focusing on more sustainable ways of working in a veterinary practice.

But we felt as though we could do more…

Carbon Offsetting

But what does this mean?

Carbon offsetting is a way to compensate for your inevitable emissions by funding an equivalent CO2 saving project elsewhere.

Here are some of the projects that we have funded:

  • Tree planting
  • Providing cleaner, safer water to those in Cambodia
  • Improving cook stoves in Rwanda
  • Rainforest preservation in Brazil
  • Renewal able energy production
  • Deforestation projects in Brazil

Not only have we offset the clinic, but also the carbon emissions of our staff and Pet Health Club Members!

Carbon Neutral

After reducing our carbon footprint we then wanted to go a step further and have been offsetting carbon that we can’t reduce and are now proudly a carbon neutral business.
