The path towards Carbon Neutrality was the natural result of a path of attention to ESG aspects that our Group has always shown, of a process of analysis aimed at identifying the points where to intervene in order to reduce environmental impact and the use of technologies that would allow this objective to be achieved.
Once all the best practices identified to reduce emissions had been implemented and the carbon footprint had been calculated, the Group decided to proceed with the offsetting of non-reducible emissions through the withdrawal of carbon credits from Verra-certified offsetting projects. In selecting the offsetting projects, those most in line with the Sustainable Development Goals in the Group's Sustainability Plan were identified.
Specifically, these four projects were selected:
1)Pakarab Fertilizer Co-Generation Power Project find out more
2)Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project find out more
3)Heqing Solar Cooker Project find out more
4) FSCECP Hydroelectric Power Plant find out more
Carbon Neutrality
Columbus is the first 3PL Carbon Neutral on national soil and is among the 1% of Italian companies to have made this valuable commitment to generate, through its business, a positive impact on the planet and future generations.
As of January 2023, Columbus is Carbon Neutral for purposes 1 and 2. (direct and indirect emissions), thus having a neutral impact on the planet, producing zero net CO2 emissions. Columbus is the first 3PL to achieve this on national soil and has joined the 1% of Italian companies that are committed to generating a positive impact on the planet and future generations through their business.
