We’ve committed to calculating and publicly disclosing our carbon footprint on an annual basis, starting with this year’s report. To achieve this, we’ll track climate data throughout the year to ensure a high-quality annual carbon footprint calculation. We’ll then be able to re-evaluate the main drivers of our carbon emissions and implement impactful reduction measures.

We’ve also committed to compensating our unavoidable emissions by purchasing high-quality offsets governed by the principles of verifiability, enforceability, additionality, permanence and transparency. To cover our 2021 carbon footprint of 18 tCO2e, we purchased 20 t of the following carbon offsets: Central Kalimantan Peatlands in Indonesia – Avoided Planned Deforestation. To prove this purchase, we will receive a serial number in about two weeks. As soon as we have it, it will be included in this chapter.

We’d like to stress that only unavoidable emissions should and will be compensated. Our priority has to be avoiding and reducing emissions wherever possible. Compensation and carbon offsets should only be used as a last resort when it comes to a company’s climate neutrality journey.
