The correct offsetting amount is then added to their order and you will receive the payments. We charge you with the same amount as part of your subscription.
You can follow the offsetting real-time from your dashboard, showing both the CO2 tons offsetted and their monetary value, as well as the offsetting percentage – reflecting how many of your customers have decided to take climate action.

About our calculations
“Fashion offset with myclimate” carbon footprint calculations are based on myclimate professionals' expertise and a learning algorithm. The algorithm analyses the product descriptions on your store and defines what kind of item the product is (for example a pair of jeans) and what is its main material (for example recycled cotton) to define an accurate carbon footprint of the product.
This is how we offset
We pool all the micro compensations and direct them to climate action projects that adhere to the Gold Standard, CDM and Plan Vivo standards.
As a non-profit we commit to invest at least 80% of the funds directly to the projects, and our small share enables us to run our organization.
Why fashion?
Producing fashion and apparel has a carbon footprint that consists of various sources, like cultivation, harvesting, chemical processes, dyeing, cutting, logistics and so on.
All together the fashion industry is responsible for more CO2 emissions than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Offsetting even a small fraction of online order will make a big impact for the fight against climate change.
Climate Action is in Fashion!
