USPS BlueEarth Carbon Accounting
This service enables large business customers to measure and manage carbon impacts across their supply chains. This proprietary service follows the most widely accepted accounting methods to calculate shipping or mailing items’ greenhouse gas emissions based on their characteristics, such as product type, size, weight, processing, distribution and transportation. This no-fee service provides reports that detail GHG emissions associated with the Postal Service’s entire delivery process.
Carbonfund.org Foundation has determined the USPS BlueEarth Carbon Accounting Statement is consistent with carbon neutrality criteria for eligibility in the Carbonfund.org Carbonfree Shipping program. USPS business customers interested in offsetting emissions can purchase carbon credits using official calculation results from the USPS BlueEarth Carbon Accounting Statement. Learn more here.
