How we measure our CO2-footprint
We have meticulously assessed our CO2 footprint across three scopes as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. For 2022, our company reported total emissions of 55,109 tons of CO2 equivalents.
The direct emissions (Scope 1), from company vehicles and building operations, were relatively low at 381 tons.
Indirect emissions (Scope 2), from purchased electricity, were even lower due to the use of green electricity and solar panels.
The majority of emissions (99.3% or 54,720 tons) were classified under Scope 3, attributed to fuel consumption for groupage transport, which is the company’s specialization. To mitigate this, we are implementing reduction strategies such as promoting eco-driving, transitioning to electric vehicles, and exploring greener energy sources.
The goal is to achieve significant CO2 reductions in line with technological advancements and sustainable practices.
