Understand more about the seal:
CO2 Neutral 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:
Salto Pilão Hydroelectric Power Plant
The Salto Pilão Hydroelectric Plant produces renewable energy with low environmental impact, reducing dependence on fossil fuel-fired thermal power plants and, consequently, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Located in Santa Catarina, the plant uses only 0.15 km² of flooded area to serve 1 million inhabitants. To preserve natural resources, 24 environmental programs have been implemented and are continuously monitored, contributing to the economic and social sustainability of the region. Through the project, over 4,500 tons of carbon emissions have been avoided, and more than 450 people have benefited.
