Understand more about the seal:
The Neutral Event Seal is a voluntary initiative for organizations that care about climate change and are committed to decarbonization and sustainability. The seal is the recognition for the compensation of carbon emissions that could not be avoided, through the support of high-quality socio-environmental projects.
How carbon offsetting works:
Travel, energy consumption, and waste generation emit greenhouse gases
These emissions are quantified in kg of CO2 using internationally recognized methodology
A certified environmental project that absorbed the same amount of carbon is supported
This project is financially rewarded for carbon offsetting
In this way, the company receives the seal and certificate of the carbon offsetting program with traceability of the action
Find out more about the supported environmental project:
Foz do Chapecó Hydroelectric Power Plant
The Foz do Chapecó Hydroelectric Plant produces renewable energy with low environmental impact, reducing dependence on fossil fuel-fired thermal power plants and, consequently, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Using the asphalt core dam technique, the plant supplies more than five million homes between Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, flooding only 39.2 km². Additionally, Foz do Chapecó implements socio-environmental programs, such as the Biofactory for seedling production and the Fishermen Support Program, promoting sustainability, recovery of biological areas, and strengthening of family agriculture and local fishing. Through the project, over 800 tons of carbon emissions have been avoided, and more than 300 people have benefited.
