Overview

CarbonInvoice is a tool to help businesses easily know the carbon emissions that are generated by each project, for each of their clients, and help them easily offset their emissions sustainably*. Emphasising a hands-off approach, the only step required to begin is to connect your accounting data - after which a carbon offset calculation is automatically added to every invoice for configured clients.
