AI Offsets
At Four Fin, we believe in offsetting the harm our work causes to ourselves and our planet. We offset our carbon emissions through Offset Alliance, give 1% of our top line revenue to environmental non-profits, and now, we're rolling out our commitment to offset our AI usage by engaging in pure humanity and human activities.
See below for the offsets we’ve logged since beginning our AI offsets program in 2025.
