Il Borghetto e La Casina decided to offset its services dedicated to the hospitality world through certified carbon credits, contributing to the projects selected by Terravives.
Monti Cardamomi meridionali, Cambogia · VCS Registry, ID 1748
The project protects tropical forests threatened by deforestation and degradation, avoiding the emissions associated with their loss. It supports conservation management of the Southern Cardamom National Park and the Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary.
Contribution from Il Borghetto e la Casina33 tCO2eYear 2026
The project's annual figure and the partner's contribution are two distinct measures. The specific retirements remain fully listed in the documentation.

Three everyday references help read the same amount of CO2e from different angles.
Documented contribution33 tCO2e
It's the same quantity represented in the three comparisons below.
about 135.000km
driven by an average petrol vehicle (US reference)
about 550urban trees
average absorption in one year
about 14.100litres of petrol burned
equivalent emissions
Indicative comparisons: three ways of representing the same quantity, not additional interventions actually carried out.
How we calculate the examples
Vehicle: tonnes ÷ 0.000393 tCO2e/mile × 1.609344 km/mile. The EPA factor uses an average US petrol passenger vehicle, 2022 data, and includes tailpipe CO2, CH4 and N2O; it does not account for the fuel's life cycle.
Urban trees: tonnes ÷ 0.060 tCO2/tree/year. This is the average annual absorption from the US model over the first 10 years of growth, varying by species, age, climate and survival rate. It does not represent a reforestation project or trees actually planted.
Petrol: tonnes ÷ 0.008887 tCO2e/US gallon × 3.785411784 litres/gallon. It covers combustion emissions, not extraction and refining.
The comparisons use EPA factors referring to the United States, not Italy. The trees entry expresses CO2; vehicle and petrol are expressed in CO2e.
