Question: DyStar releases its first corporate Carbon Footprint Report
Answer: As part of its long-term commitment to sustainability and transparency DyStar is today releasing the results of its first Carbon Footprint Report.
The report relates to 2010 and was compiled using data gathered for all major manufacturing sites and office/lab locations. The study calculated DyStar Group’s global carbon footprint as 164,035 te of CO2e. The report was produced in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a global reporting framework jointly developed by the World Resource Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
The report will serve as the baseline for measuring future progress in reducing DyStar’s carbon emissions and is a key component of what will be DyStar’s first Sustainability Report which is due to be published in Q4 2011.
Announcing the release of the report Steve Barron, CEO commented, “We are today taking the first few steps on the journey towards sustainability. As a responsible company we acknowledge that we have a critical role to play in mitigating climate change by introducing products and services that reduce carbon emissions of our customers, and by reducing our own carbon footprint.”
Carbon reduction teams are being established at each of the major production sites to drive down the carbon intensity of the manufacturing operations and to set DyStar on the path to becoming a carbon-smart company.
