Climate footprint
Again we drew up our detailed CO2 footprint for the whole of wpd for 2022. Since 2019, we have been using a professional computation program that ensures that we register the data in accordance with the internationally recognised standard of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
This means that we recorded data from 23 countries, 54 offices and more than 970 employees. The emissions calculated for 2022 were fully offset by our climate protection projects.
Accounting for our internal CO2 emissions will be maintained on this scale every year, for all companies, facilities and offices of wpd GmbH.
In collaboration with the German non-profit organisation atmosfair, wpd supports the construction and operation of small biogas plants in Nepal. Beyond that, we are also engaged in Guatemala in a reforestation project, and in Pakistan in a solar lamps project. In Germany, we are supporting the rewetting of marshland in Mecklenburg Western Pomerania.
