Climate Protect
GLS new environmental strategy
Our ambition? To offset and reduce emissions
Our long-term goals
100% green energy in our establishments
Zero or low-emission delivery vehicles
Buildings constructed according to high standards of sustainability
Calculation of CO2 impact
The ambition of climate neutrality in 2045
Why do we opt for emission offsetting?
This is an intermediate phase that continues in parallel with the reduction phase and will last until a total elimination of CO2 emissions ideally planned for 2045.
How do we offset emissions?
Implementing forest conservation projects and installing renewable energy plants through partnerships with specialised and certified agencies in the sector.
How is compensation funded?
Attraverso il contributo «Climate Protect» applicato ai clienti che hanno aderito al programma. Il contributo sarà destinato in parte per progetti di compensazione e in parte per investimenti volti a ridurre le emissioni di Co2 delle nostre attività.
What benefits does the customer have?
The customer will be part of the project and will receive a compensation certificate that he can spend on the market.
Climate Partner
The investment in offset projects is made in cooperation with ClimatePartner, a multinational company specialising in the implementation of carbon offset projects. Their work includes project management and the issuing of certificates to GLS and its Climate Protect customers.
