Reducing emissions sustainably with 'carbon insetting'
In 2022, the company has stepped up its commitment and enlisted support from further competent partners, First Climate and SustainCERT, in order to add another element to its existing commitment: 'Carbon Insetting'. 'With this pioneering program, Beiersdorf will help to sustainably reduce emissions generated in its own supply chain,' says
At Beiersdorf, we believe that it is the little things that make a big difference: The project empowers women with valuable know-how to secure their livelihoods and provide for themselves and their families independently. It is also an example of Beiersdorf's commitment to supporting smallholder projects, such as those that already exist for palm oil, while contributing to a more sustainable supply chain. 'The results of this project are very promising and provide us with valuable guidance on how to achieve our ambitious climate target, which aims to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 30% in absolute terms by 2025,' says
