Sustainability.

grandega

Climate protection successfully implemented.

We think sustainably and make decisions about our consulting services responsibly and consciously.
Sustainable action is the sum of many small decisions.

A path we take step by step:

Calculating our emissions

When calculating our carbon footprint, we took into account all emissions throughout the company - from trips to our customers and internal events and training to our office equipment and technical infrastructure.

Step 1.

Avoiding and reducing emissions

We take great care to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible by keeping travel to a minimum, using sustainable means of transport, avoiding unnecessary consumption and incentivizing responsible behavior.

Step 2.

Compensation through support of climate protection projects

In order to achieve climate neutrality, we offset residual emissions that we can neither avoid nor reduce through gold standard certified climate protection projects.
As part of this climate compensation, grandega supports several UN renewable energy projects.

Step 3.

Our commitment to sustainability.

grandega supports the following UN goals for sustainable development as part of climate compensation:

Pakistan: Zorlu Enerji
Wind Project.

The Zorlu 56.4 MW Wind Farm Project will contribute to local
sustainable development in the project area by exerting the
following effects:

Economic development: The project will generate 159,010
MWh annually, reducing blackouts and improving business
performance, supporting Pakistan’s economic growth.

Social development: It creates jobs during construction and
operation, boosting incomes and living standards.

Environmental development: By cutting fossil fuel pollution
and greenhouse gas emissions, the project benefits the local
environment and climate.

Technological development: As Pakistan’s first of its kind, the
project transfers foreign wind turbine expertise and promotes
further wind power expansion.

India: Bundled Solar
Photovoltaic Project by ACME.

The Bundled Solar Photovoltaic Project is an initiative to
install grid-connected solar energy power plants in India.
The aim of the project is to strengthen energy security,
diversify the electricity mix and drive sustainable growth
in the sector.

The project is financed through the sale of Verified Carbon
Units (VCUs). Since this is a voluntary initiative, each special
purpose vehicle (SPV) implements its own solar project.

Since there are no fixed laws to promote renewable energy
in India, private initiatives like this project are crucial to the
expansion of sustainable energy sources.

Malawi: High Efficiency
Wood Burning Cookstoves.

The project involves distribution of fuel-efficient improved
cookstoves (ICS) in Malawi.

The ICS disseminated through this project will replace the baseline
cookstoves. Through this project, the distribution and installation
of approximately 500,000 ICS will be undertaken for households in
Malawi. It is intended that under this project single pot, TLC-CQC
Rocket Stove will be distributed.

The ICS will burn wood more efficiently thereby improving thermal
transfer to pots, hence saving fuel. Not only will this halt the rapidly
progressing deforestation in Malawi but will also reduce health
hazards from indoor smoke pollution and women and children
will have to spend less time collecting firewood.

CERTIFICATE

Carbon neutral company.

grandega has purchased CO2 shares (certificates) from climate protection projects in the amount of the determined amount and is thus making a visible contribution to the realization of these projects. This ensures that your own CO2 emissions are compensated and the increase in global warming is curbed.
