According to a recent study, it has been found that over 90% of rainforest carbon offsets do not represent real carbon emission reductions.

These findings question the effectiveness of such offsets and raise doubts about the credibility of companies using them to promote a “carbon neutral” label.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial for companies to take concrete measures to reduce their own CO2 emissions.

The European Commission is considering policy and structural changes to this market, which generates financial outflows to countries that do not seem to benefit from such investments.

Widech S.p.A. is dedicated to developing technologies that can objectively and accurately measure the impact of carbon emissions, aiming for sustainable solutions. It is also preparing to support both on-site efficiency measurement approaches and restorative interventions certification.

Only through these actions can we effectively address the climate emergency and secure a better future for our planet.
