Climate neutral
Climate-neutral refers to companies, products and processes whose CO₂ emissions have been calculated and offset by supporting internationally recognized climate protection projects.
With CO₂ compensation, the respective product or company receives the status of climate neutrality. Since summer 2019, Pandinavia has been offsetting its CO₂ emissions in cooperation with ClimatePartner (www.climatepartner.com). We offset all currently unavoidable emissions from our company by supporting climate protection projects: This makes us a climate-neutral company. This path is now also open to Pandinavia customers with regard to the procurement of their promotional products. We have configured each product on our database (www.pandinavia.ch/de/produkte) in such a way that the approximate CO₂ impact during production and transport per item and order quantity can be calculated automatically. The system calculates the resulting costs for offsetting the greenhouse gases produced. It works in a similar way to offsetting air travel.
Help to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases. You too can make your contribution to environmental protection!
Companies can make individual orders climate-neutral or analyze their entire product range according to this criterion and determine the total CO₂ contribution to be offset once a year.
