The reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, responsible for global warming and the increase in global temperature, has become one of the main challenges for the international community.<\/p>\n
For this reason, Calzados FAL – Chiruca<\/strong>\u00ae has made a commitment to be a Carbon Free<\/strong> company, offsetting 100% of its CO2 emissions at each stage of production.<\/p>\n To this end, the \u2018Chiruca Forest Absorption\u2019 project was launched, a 23-hectare plantation on its own land, where more than 24,000 trees have been planted, contributing to the significant absorption of CO2.<\/p>\n This innovative spirit in their sustainable policies has allowed them, since 2012, to be pioneers in the certification of the CO2 Carbon Footprint controlled by AENOR. In addition, they have an Environmental Management System certified according to the UNE EN ISO 14001 standard, which allows them to establish clear goals and environmental improvement programmes.<\/p>\n But what does it mean to be Carbon Free?<\/strong> It is the compensation of 100% of greenhouse gas emissions that are emitted into the atmosphere in the production of footwear.<\/p>\n And what is calculated? We calculate the tonnes of CO2 emitted each year in the following actions involved in the manufacture of footwear: transport of raw materials received; complete manufacture of footwear; product promotion: commercial trips, etc.; transport of shipment of goods; roaming of employees and consumption of energy and facilities.<\/p>\n
