Carbon Offset Scotland was delighted to hear that the Government is keen to introduce a voluntary code of conduct within the carbon offset industry.

Poorly run projects can tarnish the industry's reputation and we welcome anything that can weed such projects out. COS is very different from many offset projects as we are completely transparent in what we do. We are one of the few projects that will allow visitors to view the project directly - or indeed to plant their own trees! Hopefully we will be able to update you further on any legislation soon...
