Today’s world is facing an immense challenge: climate change. More and more companies are recognizing the need to reduce their carbon footprint and implement sustainable business practices. We at mts are also taking concrete steps to reduce our CO2 emissions by installing a new roof and constructing a large-scale photovoltaic system covering an area of 4000 m².
The CO2 footprint calculation at mts
At mts, we have taken the first step towards sustainability by calculating our carbon footprint. This step is crucial to understand how big our ecological footprint really is as a company and where the biggest sources of emissions are. We have made this data transparent and allow interested parties to request our company’s carbon footprint. This is a step towards greater transparency and accountability.
Our measures to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions
After determining our carbon footprint, we at mts took concrete measures to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Scope 1 emissions include direct emissions from our own sources, such as emissions from company-owned vehicles or heating systems. Scope 2 emissions relate to indirect emissions from purchased energy, such as electricity or heat. We have recognized that there is potential for improvement in both areas and are committed to a sustainable future.
Active projects to reduce CO2
A new roof for sustainability
One of the most notable measures we have taken at mts to reduce our carbon footprint is the construction of a new roof on our company building. This roof is not only functional, but also designed to be sustainable. It is designed to improve the energy efficiency of the building, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs. This not only helps to reduce Scope 1 emissions, but also lowers the company’s operating costs.
Photovoltaics for renewable energy
Another important step towards reducing CO2 emissions at mts is the installation of a large-scale photovoltaic system covering an area of around 4000 m². This solar system will generate clean, renewable energy and thus contribute to reducing Scope 2 emissions. The use of renewable energy is not only environmentally friendly, but also makes economic sense as it leads to cost savings in the long term.
Outlook
Our efforts at mts to reduce our carbon footprint are an excellent example of how companies can actively contribute to tackling climate change. By calculating our footprint, implementing emission reduction measures and investing in renewable energy sources, we are setting an example for sustainability and environmental protection. This shows that sustainability and economic success can and should go hand in hand. Would you like more information about our CO2 reduction efforts at mts?
