Together with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.green.earth\/nl\/\">Green Earth<\/a> (part of the DGB Group), we \u2013 the Waysis companies Taxameter Centrale, Brickyard, and XPOTS \u2013 have once again mapped the CO\u2082 emissions of our business activities for the 2024 financial year. And what did we find? We managed to reduce our emissions by 10% compared to 2023. A result we can be proud of!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"498\" data-end=\"913\"><strong data-start=\"498\" data-end=\"526\">How did we achieve this?<\/strong><br data-start=\"526\" data-end=\"529\" \/>The decrease is no coincidence. It\u2019s the result of conscious choices and joint efforts on various fronts:<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>More sustainable business travel<\/strong>, such as increased use of electric or hybrid vehicles.<br data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"727\" \/>\u2022<strong> Improved energy performance in our offices<\/strong>, for example by reducing unnecessary energy consumption.<br data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"831\" \/>\u2022 <strong>Smarter collaboration<\/strong>, making more efficient use of travel time and materials.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"1055\">By working with Green Earth to measure our emissions in detail, we gain clearer insight each year into where we can truly make a difference.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1362\"><strong data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1107\">What do we do about the emissions that remain?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1110\" \/>Although we\u2019re on the right path, some emissions still remain. And we take responsibility for those as well. For the 2024 financial year, we will compensate for more than 55% of our remaining emissions. We do this by investing in two types of projects:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1828\">\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1366\" data-end=\"1398\">Cooking Efficiency in Africa<\/strong><br data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1401\" \/>In remote villages in Africa, cooking is often done over open fires, which consumes a lot of wood and other fuels. By<a href=\"https:\/\/www.green.earth\/nl\/projects\/hongera-energy-efficient-cookstoves-project-kenia\"> financing more efficient cookstoves<\/a>, we help reduce the amount of fuel needed and thus lower CO\u2082 emissions. This not only benefits the climate, but also boosts the local economy \u2013 as the cookstoves are produced locally \u2013 and improves the health of families who are otherwise exposed to smoke on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1830\" data-end=\"2045\">\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1832\" data-end=\"1849\">Reforestation<\/strong><br data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"1852\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.green.earth\/nl\/projects\/hongera-reforestation-project-kenia\">We support reforestation<\/a> projects that plant new trees in areas where forests have disappeared. This helps store CO\u2082 for the long term and contributes to ecosystem restoration and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2387\"><strong data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2069\">Why do we do this?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2072\" \/>For us, sustainability is not an afterthought, but an integral part of our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and ISO 14001 policies. As companies, we want to make a positive contribution to the world around us and avoid causing more harm than necessary. Reducing our environmental impact is simply part of that.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2570\">We believe that real change doesn\u2019t come from big words, but from concrete actions. And we commit to those actions every day \u2013 together with our colleagues, customers, and partners.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2734\"><em>Would you like to know more about our footprint, or do you have ideas to further reduce our impact?
