Entreprise avec une contribution financière pour le climat

Parce que l'environnement nous tient à cur: depuis 2019, nous déterminons les émissions de CO² d'ARTEBENE sur une base annuelle et opérons désormais comme une entreprise avec une contribution financière pour le climat. L'empreinte CO² indique la quantité d'émissions de CO² générées par une entreprise au cours d'une année. Dans le cas d'ARTEBENE, les sources d'émissions telles que sa flotte de véhicules, la production de chaleur, l'énergie, l'eau, la logistique entrante et sortante, les distances de déplacement des employés pour se rendre au travail, les vols, les étapes amont de production d'énergie et d'eau, le papier de bureau, l'élimination des déchets ainsi que les voyages en train ont été déterminés et évalués. En collaboration avec ClimatePartner, nous travaillons sur des solutions et des actions pour éviter et réduire ces émissions de CO² et les convertir en projets individuels. Nous assumons la responsabilité des émissions inévitables, telles que les expéditions, le service fourni par nos commerciaux ainsi que notre élimination des déchets et les compensons en contribuant à un projet de protection du climat.

What is a climate protection project?

Climate protection projects are projects that include additional climate protection measures and thus make a measurable contribution to reducing CO2 in the atmosphere. They combat global warming and demonstrably save greenhouse gases. In addition, they promote sustainable development in the project countries and support other goals such as combating poverty and hunger, improving drinking water, expanding local infrastructure, spreading clean and affordable energy, and many more.

Our climate protection project

Women in rural India are driving the transition to clean energy!

The project gives micro-entrepreneurs in rural India access to microloans for solar lights and water filters and creates supply chains in remote regions. The women use the new products for business (e.g. solar lights to extend the opening hours of a shop) and private use (e.g. to provide their families with clean drinking water). With the money saved on fuel, the women can pay back the loans. They meet regularly in self-help groups to support each other and ensure that everyone is satisfied with the products and uses them. Each group has a leader who takes care of customer service in case products need to be serviced or repaired. Some women work as ‘clean energy demonstrators’ and educate people in the neighbouring villages about the benefits of the new products. In this way, they enable even more women to take the first step on the road to clean energy.

No Poverty

More energy-efficient products such as solar lamps and water filters significantly reduce the need for fuel. The money saved can help to improve living conditions.

Clean water and sanitary facilities

The water filters in this project give thousands of households safe access to clean drinking water.

Affordable and clean energy

The project generates 64,400 MWh of clean electricity annually and increases the share of renewable energy sources in India's electricity mix.

Decent work and economic growth

By September 2023, 68 people had been employed in the project, including 18 women and 50 men.

Climate protection measures

The project saves around 406,840 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

ARTEBENE IS NOW SENDING CO2 NEUTRAL VIA DPD

Due to the cooperation with the parcel service provider DPD ARTEBENE sets another example regarding environmental consciousness: a CO2- neutral shipment of all parcels.

With the so-called "Total Zero Principle" the CO2-emission should be reduced to a minimum by selective measures and unnecessary consumption should be avoided. As one of the first parcel service providers DPD is also shipping CO2 neutral globally by July 2012 - completely without extra costs for the customer. Thus, around 500.000 tons CO2 can be avoided per year.
