We have made no donation to off-set our carbon footprint to-date but we have committed to looking at the possibility of doing so as part of our new bio-diversity duties outlined in the Environment (Wales) Act. Key actions from our biodiversity plan will be published on our website by the end of this month, including any details of carbon off-setting.
