Yes, many carbon offset initiatives contribute to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing environmental impacts, promoting sustainable development, and improving the wellbeing of communities. These projects, like those of DGB Group, often have co-benefits, such as supporting economic livelihoods, conserving ecosystems, and advancing social equity.
