That’s basically “carbon credits” except that companies only buy it to reach “green” status.

Does any meaningful segment of consumers actually boycott companies for not buying carbon credits?

Why are companies buying them? Do these companies get tax write offs? Does it help with employee retention? To deflect other bad press?
