The 5 steps of climate action
The following 5 steps are required for ClimatePartner certification:
Scroll down to see how the requirements were met.
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 go 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 December 2023Carbon footprint (in CO₂ equivalents):
1.56 Kg CO₂
for 1 product of 1 kg
This carbon footprint is based on the following product life cycle:
Cradle-to-customer
- Extraction and pre-processing of raw materials and packaging
- Production of the final product
- Delivery of the product to the first customer
Reduction targets

Scope 3 emissions
Scope 3 emissions included in this reduction target:
This company has committed to reducing its emissions by
25%
Time period
2021 to 2030
Science-based target

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.

Company-related reduction measures
This section shows you the reduction measures that the company has implemented throughout their operations.
12%
of the total electricity consumption is purchased green electricity
70%
of the total electricity consumption is self-generated green electricity*
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:
