The CO²e emission of the lifecycle of this product have been compensated for with verified carbon credits. CO² compensation is not a substitute for switching to lower emission energy solutions or reducing the use of fossil fuels. Carbon credits are purchased and retired to compensate the calculated lifecycle CO²e emissions of the product. Although these carbon credits have been generated in accordance with international carbon standards, the compensation may not be exact.
