Dilawri Carboneutre

New Vehicle Sales Environmental Impact Compensation Program

Together, Carbone Québec and Dilawri are committed to combating climate change through an innovative, coherent, and effective program for CO₂ emissions offsetting and measures promoting increased biodiversity.

In accordance with the dealership rotation, Dilawri will offer carbon credits and biodiversity credits to offset the first year of use for each new vehicle sold.

How does it work?

Carbone Québec will provide dealers with a calculation tool that takes into account the vehicle's fuel consumption and annual distance travelled to determine the number of credits needed. For all new vehicles sold each month, the featured dealership will offer the first year of compensation at no cost* .

Join us in creating the Dilawri Forest

The Dilawri Forests

Located throughout Quebec, Dilawri Forests** are reforestation and habitat-preservation projects that will generate carbon and biodiversity credits. The trees chosen for these forests have a high carbon-sequestration rates, and future projects promoting the return of biodiversity will include micro-fauna crossings, flower islands, fruit-bearing shrubs, bat houses, and more. Your contribution to the Environmental Impact Compensation Program will directly support the creation of Dilawri Forests** . The first Dilawri trees planted will be located in the Lanaudière region in fall 2024, ensuring your new vehicle’s emissions will be compensated for through local environmental initiatives.

FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES?

We recognize electric vehicle buyers’ commitment of to the environment. To strengthen this effort, we offer the option to add biodiversity credits at the end of their new vehicle's term. This initiative aims to mitigate the environmental impacts associated with the manufacturing of electric car batteries, particularly on natural habitats, thereby enhancing their contribution to the preservation of our planet.

AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF COMPENSATION?

For environmentally conscious consumers who wish to extend their positive impact beyond the first year, it will be possible to continue to compensate for their vehicle’s environmental impacts in subsequent years. By incorporating a compensation option at the end each new vehicle's term, Dilawri not only supports its customers’ environmental commitment but also enables them to actively participate in climate impact reduction efforts.
