We are working on reducing our carbon emissions through a range of sustainability initiatives, but in the meantime, we offer you the option to offset the emissions generated by your move to help make a real change today. The offset fee is based on your move type (£40 for a UK move, £120 for an overseas move) and has been calculated using a smart algorithm built on the data from thousands of moves. If you’d like to offset your carbon emissions and help us protect the environment, please just let us know.
