We are pleased to announce that we have added our 2024 carbon footprint data to our Sustainability Report for Bertling Logistics. From page 37 onwards you can now read about our global Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from 2024 in the various emission categories and the related explanations.
Corporate carbon Footprint 2024 in a nutshell
Comparing our figures in 2024 with our figures in 2023 we may note that we experienced a total increase in emissions of 8% (116 tons CO2). Whilst we see a decrease in our emissions related to Power and Heating 2024 compared to 2023, we see increased emissions for Company Vehicles, Water Consumption, Employee Commuting, Business Travel, Procurement, Waste Disposal and Material Used.
Our largest drop related to Power emissions is largely due to the application of actual emission factors, i.e. emission factors reported by the power providers rather than using average country emission factors (example: Singapore). One other contributing factor is that our Houston office moved to a more energy efficient office, decreasing their emissions.
Still, it should be noted that we have decreased our corporate emissions by 33,37% from our base year 2019, meaning we are meeting our corporate targets, and we are continuing aiming towards our net zero goal.
Global footprint, local actions
We also added some recent local initiatives done by our worldwide offices as part of our commitment to CSR and to continue to raise awareness for footprint reduction and sustainability concepts.
