Dynamic FM goes Carbon Negative in 2022
At Dynamic FM, we recognise the importance of the Climate Emergency and the importance of playing our part, both as individuals and as a collective, to do what we can to reduce the impacts of global warming and climate change. We have now been fully Carbon Neutral since 2020 and continue to work alongside leading climate consultants, Climate Partner to measure, reduce and neutralise our carbon emissions.
In 2022, we have offset over 67.3 tons of Carbon. This is 20% above our measured carbon emissions for 2022 making us a Net Carbon Negative organisation!
How does it work?
Whilst “Carbon negative” is not a recognised standard, we have decided to go above and beyond in terms of our offset requirements and offset an additional 20% beyond what would be required to make us “Carbon Neutral”
“Climate Neutral” means that all emissions generated by our products and our company have been reported and compensated through recognised carbon offset projects.
- Measure – Together with ClimatePartner, we have calculated all our CO2 emissions – from heating our office, to manufacturing, packaging and transporting our products.
- Avoid and Reduce – We reduce emissions where we can: for example, we have recently started to onboard hybrid EV vehicles into our fleet, our new office headquarters uses environmentally friendly MHVR systems, and we have shifted to using using environmentally friendly, rainforest-certified office stationary, along with working with suppliers to find sustainable options where possible,.
- Offset – We offset all unavoidable emissions through internationally recognised carbon offset projects from the ClimatePartner portfolio.
- Label – We are a climate neutral company with all our products being climate neutral as well. Our “Climate Neutral” label awarded by ClimatePartner and including a unique ID-Tracking number, helps our customers to understand how and where our carbon emissions have been offset, it has also been certified by TUV Austria.
