We have used European and American government statistics for the average amount of driving done by passenger cars. Next, we looked at the highest emissions by distance travelled from 800 different car models as published by the UK NGO, “Which.”

By multiplying distance travelled, by emissions per mile/kilometre for the highest emitting vehicles we get to a large aggregate annual number. We then add a further 25% to ensure we are ClimatePositive. Full details are shown in our Basis of Preparation.

Other providers of carbon offsets require you to know in advance what distance you will travel in the future, as well as a series of other guesses and estimates. That complexity is an off-putting, unnecessary burden. ClimatePositive keeps costs and complexity as low as possible, making it easier for our customers to sign up and enabling us to offer the best price.

The ClimatePositive community is large and growing. We keep our costs as low as possible through aggregation, allowing us to plan ahead. We offset 25% more emissions per car than the highest of 800 most popular cars surveyed. For more information, click here.

If you sell your car, the offsetting of its emissions with ClimatePositive could be a plus point for the new buyer! If you stop driving, the offsetting will continue for the period you have chosen. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity to issue refunds.

The green sticker is your ClimatePositive badge. It lets everyone know that you give back more to the environment than you take.

If you don’t receive your car badge after 2-3 weeks of purchasing, please contact us at support@climatepositive.com.

The annual badge is valid from 1 November of the previous year. Ie. Badges ordered from 1 November will receive a car badge for the subsequent calendar year.

You will receive the car badge of the current (or if after 1 Nov.) subsequent calendar year. The next badge will be dispatched in December for the badge of the following year.
