OUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

MEASURE, COMPENSATE, REDUCE AND KEEP GETTING BETTER.

Calculating our CO2e emissions was a suitable method for us to start with to make sustainability measurable. Last year, in collaboration with ClimatePartner, we calculated our greenhouse gas emissions both for ourselves as a company and for all our products in accordance with the guidelines of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and offset them through internationally recognized climate protection projects. But that is not enough for us. That's why we want to take a new and even more transparent approach this year.

JUST BEING CLIMATE-NEUTRAL IS NOT ENOUGH.

With the calculations and offsetting, we received the "climate neutral" logo from ClimatePartner. As this is too misleading for us and many companies now carry this logo to show that they are offsetting their CO2e emissions but not contributing to a long-term reduction, we have given it some more thought. For us, this process was always just a step towards taking responsibility for our impact on the environment and the climate. We now take a more differentiated view. Looking at our own supply chain and taking effective long-term reduction measures ourselves is now the much more decisive path for us.

We have therefore decided to continue calculating our emissions, but independently using an external tool that not only calculates CO2e emissions, but also takes into account other relevant environmental indicators such as land use, ocean acidification, air pollution and other aspects. This gives us significantly more information about our ecological footprint as a manufacturing company and enables us to better compare ingredients, packaging and transportation routes and make better decisions.

HOW HIGH ARE OUR CO2e EMISSIONS?

Climate neutrality does not mean that no emissions in our value chain. Like every other manufacturing company, we also emit CO2e emissions, no matter how ecologically and economically we operate. We currently offset 100% of our emissions through several international climate protection projects.

Our carbon footprint in 2022 amounted to 454.97 t CO2. Of this, 36.41 t CO2 were caused within the company in 2021 and 418.56 t CO2 in the supply chain of our products (as of December 2022, will be updated). The company footprint is only calculated after the end of the year. The product footprint, on the other hand, is calculated each year on the basis of planned sales figures and offset against the number of products actually sold at the end of the year.

OUR CO2e EMISSIONS

For our corporate carbon footprint (CCF), CO2e emissions were calculated in three categories using consumption data and emission factors:

SCOPE 1: 0 %
Includes all emissions generated directly by company fleets and facilities, for example - neither of which we have.

SCOPE 2: 9.2 %
Lists emissions caused by purchased energy, for example electricity and gas.

SCOPE 3: 90.8 %
Includes indirect emissions, such as our employees' commute to work, home office and business travel. Our entire supply chain, i.e. the emissions from our products, also fall under Scope 3.

THE CO2 FOOTPRINT OF OUR PRODUCTS

In the area of the product footprint, also known as the product carbon footprint (PCF), significantly more aspects are considered. Higher emissions can therefore also be found there.

The product footprint was calculated using the "cradle-to-customer plus end-of-life" approach. Emissions along the following life cycle phases were taken into account: Extraction and pre-processing of raw materials and packaging, production and delivery of the product to our customers and relevant disposal emissions of the product and packaging. The use of the products by our customers has been excluded as it is not measurable for us right up to the end and we cannot collect any data on this.
Our company carbon footprint is also taken into account as "community emissions", as no products could be manufactured without the involvement of our employees.

All emissions from the product footprint are allocated to our supply chain and therefore to Scope 3.

WE COMPENSATE OUR CO2e EMISSIONS

What does "offset" stand for and what does "climate neutral" actually mean? By definition, companies, processes and products are climate-neutral if their CO2e emissions have been calculated and offset by internationally recognized climate protection projects. The offsetting of emissions is referred to as "compensation".

In 2022, we emitted 454.97 tons of CO2e with our business activities and products.

Climate neutrality therefore does not mean that no emissions in our value chain. We also emit CO2e emissions, just like any other manufacturing company, no matter how ecologically and economically we operate. We currently offset 100% of our emissions through several international climate protection projects.

FACT CHECK: WHAT DOES CO2e STAND FOR?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not the only greenhouse gas that drives global warming. There are many other gases that also contribute significantly to global warming. In addition to CO2, the gases methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and the so-called F-gases have a direct influence on climate change: Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).

All greenhouse gases are quantified in a single measurement for easier calculation and comparison in terms of global warming potential: CO2 equivalents (CO2e for short).

WHY COMPENSATE AT ALL?

Our primary goal and that of many other companies, organizations, countries, institutions and presumably also many private individuals is: a future fit for our grandchildren. To achieve this, we need to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial age, protect the climate and achieve actual climate neutrality as soon as possible in order to prevent tipping elements and the associated climatic and meteorological processes that we cannot foresee.

Offsetting our CO2e emissions was never the last step for us. Reduction is much more important to us. However, as reduction measures understandably take longer and can take several months or even years, we initially wanted to take a further, short-term step with offsetting in order to take more responsibility for our emissions now. Our focus for concrete reduction measures is now on our own supply chain (insetting) instead of solely offsetting via external climate protection projects (offsetting).

You can find out how many emissions we have offset to date and which projects have been used to offset them directly on the ClimatePartner page.

HOW DO WE REDUCE OUR EMISSIONS?

Fortunately, our corporate footprint is already very small, which is why we no longer have any major savings potential here. Nevertheless, we continue to work on raising awareness among our employees with regard to the use of resources and energy in the office.

The greatest savings potential can be seen in our products: This is where almost 90% of our total emissions are generated. Raw materials, with their costly production and transportation, and our glass bottles as primary packaging are particularly significant.

Our reductions so far:

We have reduced our shipping packaging to the bare minimum in terms of emissions (plastic-free closure, single-color printing, 100% recycled corrugated cardboard).

All new aloe vera-based products are now made with our new aloe vera raw material from Spain instead of Mexico, China or the USA.

Our next steps:

We are very proud of our constantly growing product range - but we are also constantly learning. We therefore regularly review all planned and existing products. The emission factors of individual ingredients play an important role in this. We will therefore replace ingredients with a very high CO2e footprint in the long term and thus constantly contribute to reducing our product carbon footprint.

For a long time, we solid believed that a system in which we bring our glass bottles into a closed cycle, wash them and refill them would be the most ecologically sensible solution. However, our current life cycle assessment calculations of the possible options are increasingly showing that reusing our bottles does not do justice to this. That is why we are currently examining various other packaging and refill options. Our aim is to find primary and secondary packaging that is the best possible solution for us, both from an ecological point of view and in terms of use.

Our most frequently used raw material is aloe vera. As aloe vera simply cannot be grown regionally here in Germany and there have been few suppliers in Europe that have met our sustainability requirements to date, we have sourced this raw material from controlled organic cultivation in Mexico, China and the USA until the end of 2021. After extensive research, we are very pleased to have now found a supplier in Europe that meets our guidelines. We have been sourcing our aloe vera raw material directly from Spain since the beginning of 2022. Our idea is to implement sustainability projects together through long-term partnerships with aloe vera farms in order to lend a hand where there is still room for improvement in terms of sustainability in cultivation.
The aloe vera raw material from Spain will be included in all our products this year. This means we can already reduce our emissions by 13.58%!
