For this reason, the plastics manufacturer has been certified as a climate-neutral company since January 2021. &#8220;For this, we determine our corporate carbon footprint in cooperation with the Wiesbaden-based company natureOffice,&#8221; explains Oliver Ke\u00df, who accompanies and designs the project as Environmental Management Officer. &#8220;This serves to identify the largest sources of emissions within the company and along the upstream and downstream stages of the value chain.&#8221; Based on this data, targets and measures are then set to reduce the company&#8217;s CO2 emissions ever further. Last year, ebalta generated 430 t of CO2 equivalents, which have now recently been financially offset by support for the natural forest reforestation climate project in Togo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Compensation payments for CO2 emissions are definitely not the last word in wisdom,&#8221; says Andre Neutzler. &#8220;What we would prefer is to simply stop producing CO2. But of course that&#8217;s illusory at the moment, so we&#8217;re building on continuous reduction on the one hand and financial compensation for global climate protection projects on the other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5>Strategic approach<\/h5>\n<p>ebalta approaches the complex topic of climate neutrality strategically, because those responsible know that it takes a lot of staying power. &#8220;At the moment we are able to measure the CO2 emissions we produce ourselves,&#8221; explains Oliver Ke\u00df. &#8220;This knowledge is already an important basis. With numerous measures, we have already been able to reduce emissions by half since 2020.&#8221; Simple measures such as switching to green electricity or installing a photovoltaic system have already contributed to the reduction. But this also includes increasing the share of renewable raw materials in plastic production or recycling. &#8220;The biggest source of emissions, however, which we have not yet been able to capture at all, is the release of climate-damaging gases generated by our upstream and downstream supply chain,&#8221; says Oliver Ke\u00df. &#8220;But we are already in talks with our most important suppliers to initiate movements here as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re staying on top of the issue and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s also anchored in our corporate strategy,&#8221; Andre Neutzler concludes. &#8220;It is arduous and takes a lot of time to pursue this goal, but we are convinced: It is worth it! After all, it&#8217;s about the future of our planet, and ultimately also about our continued existence as a company in this future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a
