We tackle our CO2 emissions by preventing, reducing and offsetting. An example is our internal CO2 levy taxes (120 CHF/tCO2) emissions, which both incentivises, and finances, efforts to reduce them. The effect of such initiative is that production is now CO2 neutral and has been since 2020 (Scope 1 and 2 according to Greenhouse Gas Protocol).

In order to be carbon-neutral today, we have been fully compensating for our direct emissions and partially compensating for our indirect emissions since 2020 with our own forest – the V-Forest.
