The 5 steps of climate action

The following 5 steps are required for ClimatePartner certification:

Step 1Carbon footprints

Step 2Reduction targets

Step 3Reduction measures

Step 4Climate projects

Step 5Transparency

Scroll down to see how the requirements were met.

Step 1

Carbon footprints

A product carbon footprint (PCF) provides information about the impact of a product on global warming through its associated emissions. These carbon footprints take into account the materials and energy that goes into different phases of a product's life cycle, such as the extraction of raw materials that make up the product, production processes, transportation, and other supporting processes.

This carbon footprint calculation was completed in June 2024

according to the requirements of the ClimatePartner Protocol, which is based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol).

Carbon footprint (in CO₂ equivalents):

5.44 Kg CO₂

for 1 product of 1 kg

This carbon footprint is based on the following product life cycle:

Cradle-to-customer plus end-of-life

The following emissions were taken into account in the life cycle stages of the product:

Extraction and pre-processing of raw materials and packaging
Transportation from supplier to manufacturer
Production of the final product
Delivery of the product to the first customer
Disposal processes for the product and its packaging

Step 2

Reduction targets

Reduction targets are an essential part of a company's climate action strategy. By setting concrete targets, companies define the areas, scope, and timeframe for implementing reduction measures.*

Scope 1 and 2 emissions

Scope 1 emissions include all emissions that are either directly generated by the company or under direct control of the company, for example fuel for company cars. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions generated by purchased energy, such as electricity.

This company has committed to reducing its emissions by

10%

Time period

2020 to 2030

Scope 3 emissions

Scope 3 emissions come from all company activities that are not directly under its control, for example, employee commuting and business travel, as well as activities that occur throughout the company's value chain.

Scope 3 emissions included in this reduction target:

Business travel

Downstream transportation and distribution

Employee commuting

Upstream transportation and distribution

This company has committed to reducing its emissions by

10%

Time period

2020 to 2030

Step 3

Reduction measures

To meet their reduction targets, it is important for companies to plan and implement concrete measures to achieve effective climate action. This section shows you the reduction measures that have been implemented.*

Product-related reduction measures

All products that are ClimatePartner certified have at least one implemented reduction measure.

Product life cycle

Disclaimer: The reduction measure(s) listed here only refer to the activities and consumptions directly controlled by the company.

Company-related reduction measures

This section shows you the reduction measures that the company has implemented throughout their operations.

Green electricity has been purchased

Green electricity has been generated

*A consumption greater than 100% indicates the energy is fed into the electricity grid and can be used by other households and companies.

Step 4

Climate projects

This company financially contributes to certified climate projects during the certificiation period (1). This contribution is intended to accelerate collective efforts towards achieving global net-zero emissions and (3) supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Supported projects undergo regular audits by independent third parties to ensure transparency and accountability. However, this financial contribution is not included in the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory nor considered towards meeting decarbonization goals (2). Therefore, it does not impact the carbon footprint of the certified product, company or service.

Number of projects supported:

Climate projects were financed for the following amount of emissions:

395,749 Kg CO₂ *

Climate projects supported
