By utilizing carbon credits, Australian Ethical can offset our emissions through worthwhile projects, resulting in an offset of 149.5 tCO2-e during FY15. The total emissions, which include greenhouse gases from energy and travel, will be offset by projects in Mali and Cambodia. These projects will replace high-polluting traditional cookstoves with more fuel efficient stoves, which require significant amounts of wood and charcoal, and lead to desertification. Additionally, traditional stoves also cause indoor air pollution, which is linked to respiratory and eye diseases.
