Mitigate the impact of climate related risks to our long term performance
We are clear that planting and growing trees should not be a pass to continue emitting carbon as usual. Tree growing is part of our overall strategy that first focuses on reducing emissions throughout
our operations as much as possible and then offsets the rest using other mechanisms. We have strong emissions reduction commitments in addition to our tree growing projects.
We completed our baseline carbon emissions assessment in accordance with the most widely used international Greenhouse Gas (GHG) calculation methodology – the Greenhouse
Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Our results are compatible with other GHG standards such as the ISO 14064 Part 1, which also allows for direct integration with national and international GHG registries.
We are committing to
We will complete a group-wide carbon audit in 2023 & set a >50% reduction target in direct emissions (Scope I & II) by 2030.
