THE FIRST SPANISH COMPANY TO OBTAIN VERIFICATION OF THE CALCULATION, REDUCTION AND OFFSETTING OF ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT.

 

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, which are responsible for global warming and rising temperatures, has become one of the main challenges facing the international community.

That is why, at Calzados Fal, we are committed to being a carbon-free company, offsetting 100% of our CO₂ emissions at every stage of production.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CARBON NEUTRAL?

This involves offsetting 100% of the greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere during the production of footwear.

TOTAL OFFSET: 366.05 t CO2 EQ.

The tonnes of CO2 emitted each year in the following activities involved in shoe manufacturing are calculated:

• Transport of raw materials received.
• Complete manufacture of the shoe.
• Product promotion: business trips, etc.
• Transport of goods for shipment.
• Employee travel.
• Energy consumption and facilities.

FOREST CHIRUCA

Over 24,000 trees

To this end, we launched the ‘Absorption Bosque Chiruca’ project, a 23-hectare plantation on our own land, where we planted more than 24,000 trees that contribute to significant CO2 absorption.

In addition, we have 539 solar panel modules in our own facilities, which generate 250,800 KWH/year of clean energy. WE PURCHASE THE REMAINING ELECTRICITY REQUIRED FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES.
