EUROPLANT certificate 2021/2022 EUROPLANT certificate 2020 Frequently Asked Questions „FAQs“ Why does our company care about global climate protection? The international community has agreed that global warming must be limited to below 2 degrees Celsius - or even better still to 1.5 degrees - to prevent catastrophic consequences. However, the current pledges made by individual states are only sufficient to limit global warming to a maximum of 4 degrees. Closing this ambition gap will require additional and substantial commitment from businesses and citizens. We have recognized that voluntary emission reductions and the compensation of unavoidable emissions are essential to effectively counteract climate change. That is why we have decided to neutralize our CO2 emissions and thus want to make a contribution to a future worth living. Because we not only want to analyze the problems, but also tackle and solve them. How is the carbon footprint measured? What does climate neutrality mean?
