Carbon Offsetting @ Jerónimo Martins

The Jerónimo Martins Group is supporting the first wind energy project in Guatemala through the acquisition of carbon credits to offset the environmental footprint generated by FEED.

The voluntary purchase of emissions reduction certificates relating to the San Antonio El Sitio Wind Power Project has allowed Jerónimo Martins to offset the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) generated in producing and printing FEED. Carbon offsetting is a technique endorsed by the United Nations as an additional way of reducing the planet’s GHG emissions. At the same time, it contributes to socioeconomic progress in developing countries.
