CO2 offsetting and neutralization

Partners for reducing CO2 emissions

We all have the chance to help reduce CO2 emissions in one way or another. Our CO2 calculator provides customers with a way of keeping track of their emissions, as well as direct ways to offset or to neutralize carbon dioxide.

Work out your footprint with the CO2 calculator

It has long been well established that CO2 emissions have an impact on and indeed exacerbate climate change. It’s also very clear that we must strive to reduce our carbon footprint as substantially and as quickly as possible. All of us have the means to reduce our carbon footprint.

As a bank, we see this as a very meaningful and effective way of doing our bit to combat global warming. 

The CO2 calculator shows our customers the amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated by their consumer behaviour.

For customers who want to offset or neutralize their CO2 emissions, we have entered into partnerships with two projects. 

We’ve selected two partners who have different approaches to neutralizing personal CO2 emissions.

Almighty Tree

By making a financial contribution to Almighty Tree, you’re helping to fund the planting of trees in Switzerland. Trees naturally absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to maintain climate balance in the process. All trees are planted in Switzerland. This helps to restore forests and preserve natural diversity.

Climeworks

Here we have a very innovative method of technological CO2 removal. Machines are used to filter CO2 out of the atmosphere, which is absorbed into the ground for thousands of years. This technology is called “direct air capture and storage” and has many benefits: the CO2 emissions are permanently stored, and every CO2 molecule removed can be accurately measured. The technology is also scalable due to high space efficiency and its modular design.
