OFFSET
Trading
Offset trading allows the trader to match trade activity with environmental pledges
This feature gives the trader or broker the option to commit to environmental pledges relative to the volume traded. Traders can select a pledge, the more they trade the greater the contribution to the pledge.
Traders can track their own impact automatically. Allowing them to keep up to date with the benefits their trading is contributing. Depending on how offset trading is configured – it does not need to impact the cost of trading.
Environmental pledges include:

Picking up ocean plastic

Reforesting rainforest

Planting coral
