SEEC - Scottish Energy & Environment Conference

The organisers are offsetting the carbon footprint of the SEEC event, in conjunction with Carbon Offset Scotland (COS). More details can be found at www.carbon-offset-scotland.com or by visiting them on exhibition stand 27 at the event.

Carbon Offset Scotland will plant a tree for every delegate attending. All of their trees are planted as part of a woodland regeneration project in central Scotland which aims to restore farmland back to its original woodland state. All trees planted are native to the area which in turn will encourage the regeneration of traditional wildlife habitats.

Carbon Offset Scotland pride themselves on using their imagination in how they work with their clients so that helping the planet can also help their business or organization.
