Durable certified carbon neutral

As of February, DURABLE are a certified carbon-neutral company

To achieve this, the manufacturer of products and solutions for modern workplaces teamed up with ClimatePartner to determine the company’s corporate carbon footprint (CCF).

“As a company, we have a great responsibility towards our customers, partners, employees and the environment. This is why we have taken the first key step by calculating our carbon footprint,” explains DURABLE’s MD Rolf Schifferens.

DURABLE consistently offset their emissions by supporting climate protection projects in ClimatePartner’s portfolio. These climate protection projects have proved to reduce, avoid or remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Furthermore, they promote sustainable development in countries of the southern hemisphere. The projects are certified, inspected according to strict criteria and controlled regularly to ensure that they do indeed have a protective effect on the climate.

The footprint that has been calculated is the cornerstone of a fully comprehensive sustainability strategy. “Our goal is to continuously reduce our current carbon footprint. To achieve this, we have drawn up a list of measures that we are addressing as a priority,” says Schifferens.

Corporate carbon neutrality includes both direct emissions, which are produced by the company itself (e.g. generation of electricity and heat, vehicle fleet and fugitive gases), and indirect emissions, which arise as a result of purchased energy, business travel and employees commuting to work. However, other indirect emissions that are produced outside the company in the manufacturing of raw materials and intermediate products, external logistics, the use and disposal of products, or other processes play no role in the calculation of carbon neutrality.
