Carbon management program gives the organization a clear climate protection signal
In order to achieve our net zero target as cost effectively as possible, we will be launching an innovative system with an internal CO₂e price in 2022: Each Brenntag company will pay a set price for the emissions it causes. This money will then be paid into an internal climate protection fund that each company can apply for with greenhouse-gas-saving projects. As a result, the money will flow back to the companies that implement the best CO₂-saving projects. We are relying on the inventiveness of our Brenntag colleagues to propose innovative projects that best fit the local conditions. At the end of the year, the emissions will be compared with the target for the Brenntag Group. If the target is not attained, the CO₂e price will be increased for the following year. This provides stronger incentive to reduce emissions while simultaneously increasing the budget to promote projects.
