From the supply chain to our company headquarters, we also see it as our responsibility to do our part against climate change and for a more sustainable world. That is why ARTEBENE has made it its mission to support climate protection projects and to reduce its own CO2 emissions. The result is a climate-neutral company.
Because the environment is close to our hearts: Since 2019 we have been determining ARTEBENE's CO2 emissions on an annual basis and now operate as a climate neutral business. Together with ClimatePartner we work on solutions and actions to avoid and reduces these CO2 emissions and convert them to individual projects. We take responsibility for the unavoidable emissions, such as shipments, service provided by our sales professionals as well as our waste disposal and compensate them by contributing to a climate protection project.
Every person leaves a carbon footprint, including us at ARTEBENE. It indicates how many CO2 emissions we cause in a certain period of time and how sustainably we live our lives. In case of ARTEBENE, emission sources such as its vehicle fleet, heat production, energy, water, inbound and outbound logistics, employees' travel distances to work, flights, upstream stages of energy and water production, office paper, waste disposal as well as train travels have been determined and evaluated.
Climate protection projects pursue additional actions to protect the climate and, thus, contribute measurably to a reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere. They fight global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions provably. In addition, they advance sustainable development in project countries and support further targets such as fighting poverty and hunger, improving the quality of drinking-water, expanding local infrastructure, distributing clean and affordable energy and many others.
Wind energy in the Bhachau, India: To offset our unavoidable emissions, we have decided to support the wind energy project in the Indian state of Gujarat on the west coast in the Kutch district. 14 wind turbines from the manufacturer Vestas produce 64,400 megawatt hours of sustainable electricity per year. This replaces electricity from fossil fuels, which are predominant in the power mix, with renewable energy. The project also promotes economic and social development in the region. In addition to providing a reliable source of energy, the wind farm ensures long-term jobs for local people. Our project partners are creating a livable infrastructure there by currently constructing a water tank as well as a medical facility to supply the residents. In addition, they are supporting the locals in planting seedlings that they can use in the future for self-sufficiency.
The climate protection project Wind Energy in Bhachau, India makes an important contribution to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals to which we are committed:
Hydropower in Louang Namtha Laos: To offset our unavoidable emissions, we have decided to support the hydropower project in Louang Namtha Laos. The project generates clean electricity from hydropower, thus protecting the climate. Previously, there were too few energy reserves, so electricity had to be imported proportionally from China. This was not only worse for the climate, but also more expensive for the people living in Laos. The hydropower project now contributes to a stable, sustainable and independent energy supply in the region. The run-of-river power plant on the Nam Long saves 20,860 t of CO2 annually and thus helps to improve environmental sustainability.

As part of the organisation Leaders for Climate Action, we fight against climate change and for a sustainable world together with many other well-known brands.
Leaders for Climate Action is an association of more than 400 of the leading digital entrepreneurs in Germany and increasingly in Europe. As a supporter of the initiative, ARTEBENE has committed itself to the "Green Pledge" and is thus actively committed to climate protection, both entrepreneurially and personally.
We answered this call as part of Leaders for Climate Action during Earth Day. Together with 400 other companies, we drew attention to climate protection and showed what companies and every individual can do to protect the climate. Together, we reached more than 24 million people during the campaign and raised awareness of the issue. You too can become active and make a small contribution to climate protection with just a few clicks. Become active now.
