Embedding sustainable practices 
in day-to-day business

We’re committed to mitigating our impact and making measurable changes for the long term through our carbon removal efforts.

To generate long-term environmental change, we incorporate responsible practices in our daily operations. It’s not enough to own where our emissions come from. We’re proactively working to reduce them. It’s an ongoing process.

Accounting for our emissions

We want to account for all emission categories like energy consumption across our entire value chain. To do this, we manage our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) accounting in-house. Every year, we conduct a comprehensive GHG inventory across our business in line with the GHG Protocol and disclose our environmental footprint publicly.

Investing in carbon removal

We find innovative ways to increase our environmental accountability and our positive impact. Not only do we cut our emissions, but we also support high-quality carbon removal projects in partnership with CarbonX.

We also set an internal carbon price to improve our understanding of the climate implications of our business decisions. Our carbon price helps establish our contribution model for directing funds towards durable carbon removal projects.

Our environmental sustainability portfolio

We build a high-quality contribution portfolio of climate projects that we can support and measure our impact on. We adopt a portfolio approach in selecting technology-based projects that permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

    UNDO

    UNDO relies on enhanced rock weathering to permanently lock CO2 away from the atmosphere.

  • Sonnenerde logo with sun and plant graphic on yellow background.

    Sonnenerde

    Sonnenerde manufactures biochar from biogenic waste to remove carbon and increase soil fertility.

  • White Vesta logo with abstract triangle design on turquoise background.

    Project Vesta

    Project Vesta adds carbon-removing sand to coastal systems to reduce ocean acidity.

  • in planet logo on a dark background

    InPlanet

    InPlanet uses enhanced rock weathering in tropical agricultural fields to remove atmospheric CO2.

  • equatic logo on a dark background

    Equatic

    Equatic extracts atmospheric CO2, while stabilizing CO2 and producing hydrogen, a green fuel for clean energy generation.

    Charm Industrial

    Charm Industrial converts biomass into bio-oil using fast pyrolysis, which is subsequently injected underground, ensuring the permanent sequestration of CO2.

  • andes logo on a dark background

    Andes

    Andes incorporates microorganisms into the soil to hasten the transformation of CO2 into minerals, facilitating further CO2 removal by forming a carbonate layer in the soil.
