Offsetting transport emissions. CO2 emissions in connection with climate change are a matter of concern for the the economy. We also rely on transportation in our operations. That is why we have decided to to offset all emissions caused by shipping between our logistics centers and our stores. In this, myclimate helps us as an experienced offsetting partner.
Thanks to the cooperation with myclimate, we offset the CO2 emissions caused. The offsetting of transport emissions takes place through the support of a portfolio of international carbon offset projects.
The projects supported by myclimate meet the highest standards (Gold Standard, Plan Vivo) and thus contribute to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) of the UN.
In addition to the targeted reduction of greenhouse gases, myclimate also supports educational and advisory projects in developing and emerging countries. This promotes social, ecological and economic development in various regions.
Less fuelwood consumption – that means habitat for animals, less deforestation, less greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, more time and money and improved health for women and girls in Rwanda! This is achieved through the subsidized sale of energy-efficient stoves to families around the Volcanoes National Park in northwestern Rwanda.
This climate protection project promotes the recycling of used PET bottles and other plastic waste. The recycled PET flakes and granules obtained are reused, for example, in the packaging industry or for insulation materials in the construction sector. This conserves resources and reduces the impact on the climate.
Healthy mangrove forests, also known as "blue forests," store CO2, protect the population from natural hazards and help preserve coral reefs – an important habitat for endangered species. The climate protection project promotes the sustainable use of mangroves to avoid deforestation and degradation.
