Legami, leading Italian company in the creative stationery sector, in 2022 continues its path towards net-zero thanks to Climate Plus Program: Climate Plus is Rete Clima’s decarbonization program which provides overcoming of Carbon Neutrality by the promotion of Nature Based Solution in Italy, creating a “plus” on the local national territory thanks to integrated agro-forestry activities.
In cooperation with Rete Clima, Legami has calculated its own Carbon Footprint of Organization (CFO) by accounting the greenhouse gases of Scope 1, 2, 3, in accordance with the indications of the GHG Protocol: subsequently it has undertaken domestic emission reduction actions by purchasing certified electricity supplies coming 100% from renewable sources, proceeding with a wide range of actions including installation of solar panels in Bergamo headquarters, the choice of Carbon Neutral logistics, the development of operational guidelines for the opening of shops with low environmental impact.
Carbon Neutrality was achieved by supporting carbon offset projects of residual greenhouse gas emissions, certified according to the VCS-Verra standard:
The projects supported in 2022 are listed below:
Solar Power Project by Baba Group, India
Wind Power Project – Wind Energy in India
REDD project in Brazil nut concessions in Madre de Dios, Perù
As part of Climate Plus Program, after achieving its carbon neutrality, Legami joined Rete Clima’s Foresta Italia Campaign.
This is the new National Forest Campaign launched in spring 2022, in partnership with Coldiretti and PEFC Italia, with MiTE (Ministry of Ecological Transition) and Mipaaf (Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies) patronage by virtue of its high environmental value.
For this commitment, Legami has received “Climate Plus” and “Partner Foresta Italia” labels, as follows:
