Tree Planting to Offset Carbon Emissions

Tree planting is recognised internationally as a practical short-term solution to offsetting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and is one of the easiest and most tangible ways to offset your carbon emissions. Trees absorb carbon in the process of making wood and provide other co-benefits for the environment. For businesses, it has a number of benefits:

  • An easy and cost effective way for businesses to offset their carbon emissions.
  • Helps build brand image and makes a great story for external and internal communications.
  • GreenFleet businesses are welcome to get some mud on their hands and plant their trees themselves in Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown. This is a great way to build staff team work and morale and GreenFleet makes all the arrangements.
  • An effective way to develop valuable connections with your local community without the time required to build and monitor the relationships.


The price for offsetting your vehicle carbon emissions naturally depends on the size of your vehicle, the fuel you use and how far you drive annually. The table below will help you work this out.
