The tool will help all BrewDog staff reduce their own environmental impact by encouraging behavioural change and rewarding reductions in individuals carbon footprint.
BrewDog is currently raising its final round of its record breaking Equity for Punks Tomorrow programme.
It hopes to raise a maximum of £50M to fund green infrastructure across its global business.
James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog: said: "We are proud to be the world’s first carbon negative beer business and are delighted to be one of the very first businesses to offer to offset all its employees' carbon footprints.
"All BrewDog staff will have an app which allows them to understand their own carbon footprint. Our commitment to sustainability is an integral part of our business and across our entire operation.
"This means BrewDog both as a company and as individuals are having a massively positive impact on the planet and helping drive the change that our world so badly needs."
