THE FIRST SPANISH COMPANY TO OBTAIN VERIFICATION OF THE CALCULATION, REDUCTION AND OFFSETTING OF ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT.
Reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, which are responsible for global warming and rising temperatures on the planet, has become one of the main challenges for the international community.
That is why at Calzados Fal we have made a commitment to be a carbon-free company, offsetting 100% of our CO₂ emissions at every stage of production.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CARBON FREE?
It is the compensation of 100% of the greenhouse gas emissions that are emitted into the atmosphere in the production of footwear.
TOTAL COMPENSATED: 366,05 t CO2 EQ.
The tonnes of CO2 emitted each year in the following actions involved in the manufacture of footwear are calculated:
• Transport of raw materials received.
• Complete manufacture of footwear.
• Product promotion: commercial trips, etc.
• Transport of goods shipment.
• Itinerancy of employees.
• Energy consumption and installations.
