Lamington in Nicaragua – Meeting Our Offsetting Partner

19 April 2022

Lamington Group’s CEO Robert Godwin went to visit our offsetting partner in Nicaragua to get a deeper understanding of how the project absorbs carbon from the atmosphere and the local impact it has.

The project, Eco Planet, grows giant clumping bamboo to absorb carbon from the atmosphere to become a permanent carbon sink. We worked with Climate Partner to choose this offsetting partner.
