gco2 believe in conducting all of our operations to the utmost transparency. gco2 will contract an independent auditor to analyse our records to ensure for every tonne of carbon offset by our customers a tonne of carbon reduction has been achieved by our projects and the certified credits generated have been retired (decommissioned) to ensure they cannot be re-sold.
